It is hard to play the "one bad apple" card as long as there are cases like the Laquan McDonald shooting. The dash cam video proved that not only did the shooting officer lie, but all 5 other police on the scene lied to protect him. Then the District Attorneys office which saw the proof that the police were lying refused the charge the shooter and refused to release any video. You can't claim it is just "one bad apple" when the entire police force and the DA's office were guilty of lying and withholding evidence.
Seems to me that a lot of you white guys here are the ones who do not know what BLM is complaining about. And that is why they are so upset. I still do not agree with their extreme tactics, but it is clear that many white people are still ignorant of what exactly BLM is protesting.
If police were not so eager to lie to protect the bad cops maybe more people would accept the "one bad apple" line.
