Sure it would, it would demonstrate that you're actually capable of seeing both sides. By your own admission you do not. You even labelled the thread "Good cop, bad cop" and then proceeded to post nothing but negative stories. That's why I find your positions on law enforcement irrevocably biased and your protestations (I learned that word from a movie btw) otherwise to be easily dismissed.

If you want both sides to be part of the solution then don't endlessly demonize one side and then be shocked when they are reluctant to treat with you.
Quote:And there are so many stories like that one. Bad people doing bad things and no changes being made.
Proportionately those stories are a minute fraction of law enforcement interaction. People like you treat them like the norm. This, again, proves your ill intent in this regard.
Quote:I'd rather people be better and police be better but I get that blaming "the other side" is always easier.
Who could have imagined?
How about the "other side" owning some of this issue as well? According to you this is solely a problem on the side of law enforcement. It's not, and your desire to treat it as such is why you'll make zero headway on this issue. But don't worry, you'll get to keep blaming law enforcement for your myopic (learned that from a movie too) views on this subject.
