    I keep thinking about this, because they're right. Cops are trained to see everyone as either a cop, a civvie, or a bad guy. If they're trying to get you to do something and you're not 110% compliant, you're a bad guy, and they're not trained to care about the safety of bad guys.

    Failing to convict would of course be open endorsement of extrajudicial execution of black people by the state, but even if they somehow send him to prison, they're not going to do anything about the fact that cops are always the powerful doing violence to the powerless, and that more cops means more violence.
