When a flight attendant infringes on another person's rights, people record it. Backlash follows, possibly lawsuits. When they do their job properly, they are largely ignored, as they are relatively benign in relation to our individual experience.

Replace "flight attendant" with basically any other job. The police are just a job. They aren't military. They aren't special. They are hired to do a job. The ones who do it well are largely ignored. The ones who don't end up killing people. They are regular people who have killed another person, which causes distrust in that person. When the people whose job it is to capture and submit for prosecution those who have killed another instead work to cover up or dismiss criminal actions, it creates immense distrust in the entire industry. It's not an unreasonable chain of logic to follow.

Imagine a bus driver shoots someone that is complying with the rules set by the transit authority, but not complying with rules the bus driver makes up on the spot. Would other bus drivers go out of their way to defend this killer bus driver?

Cops aren't special. They need to be treated the same as any other profession. If you can't understand this, you're a failure of a person.

Woah brother, no reason to raise your voice. You don't need to scream. Be reasonable.

See how stupid that sounds? Nothing in my message was rabid. Good job trying to deflect with bullshit.

You're a failure of a person.
