A ton of people do. Like it's a common viewpoint. Especially on platforms like this.
People love to ignore shades of gray.
I don't know it was used in the George Floyd protest because of how most cops are being complicit by not speaking out against rotten colleagues but I think those movements recognize that it's meant as an anti-establishment slur.
Or just go full "one person was a bad person. Therefore all of this group are bad" Then later "not all imigrants are bad just because one did a bad thing!"
The double standard is so funny and sad to me
One of those groups is a marginalized group with no power, and the other is literally the embodiment of state violence.
Police *should" be held to a different standard than immigrants or literally any other civilian.
Agreed, but for entirely opposite reasons.
