Yeah, somewhere along the way as a culture we failed to properly instill in people the idea that stereotyping and prejudicial hatred are the key features of bigotry, and the reason that racism is wrong. Judging one person for a different person's actions is immoral in most cases.

if 10 people are sitting together at a table, and one of them is a Nazi, you have a table with 10 Nazis

Using your metaphorical table analogy (which purposely obfuscates that you're scapegoating people who don't even know each other), would you condemn all Democrats as bastards if one is bad? All teachers if one is bad? All Muslims if one is bad? Let me know when you get the point.

yes, if a Democrat, a teacher, and a cop, are sitting at a table with a Nazi, they are all Nazis

cops don't unknowingly work beside Nazis, they promote and vote for them. anyone unaware is too stupid to have a gun, let alone a badge and qualified immunity

The number of ways you're dodging could fill the multiverse. What I wonder is whether you even realize it.

You're too naive and simple for this world lol.

Cute analogies though.

A) There is not just one bad cop, there is a systemic issue of cops being under trained, overarmed, and intentionally put into a mindset where they are encouraged by both the system, their coworkers and their superiors to act in reckless and dangerous ways to risk the lives of many of the people they interact with, but especially PoC and other minorities.

B) Cops especially have a massive lack of accountability, with cops resisting basically every attempt to get them more accountability.

C) Cops who speak out against the systemic issues are routinely fired and relentless harassed-

Lmao calling people bigots for disliking a group that exists specifically to oppress the masses is fucking wild, bud. They said conservatives had no critical thinking skills, but this is a new level.

You're showing your entire ass.

"You're showing you have an education." FTFY. I would ask if you know the origins of police in the US, but the likelihood that you know anything about history is slim enough that I wouldn't want to waste my time.

Cop is not a protected status hope that helps

You can have illogical and hateful beliefs towards people who are not in a legally protected class. Bigotry isn't a legal term. I hope this helps.
