(4,462 posts)are corrupt or incompetent and why it's sometimes tolerated. You may very well be right. There are a myriad of reasons why malfeasance and criminality exists in certain professions and large groups (such as "minority youth" . However, that still does not in any way justify impugning hundreds of thousands of very diverse law enforcement officers working in a multitude of very different jurisdictions, cultures and circumstances in the USA.
Attempts to justify stereotypes based on what still represents a comparative few is not progressive and dangerously justifies other stereotyping such as conservatives use of crime statistics in minority neighborhoods or among male minority youth.
I will continue to base my judgments of people and events solely on individual merit and conduct.
