Understandable, but not proper.
I understand why Hitler had six million Jews murdered, he viewed them as an existential threat to him and his Reich. That doesn’t mean I agree with him, just that I understand the errors in his premises, reasoning processes and conclusions.
I deplore modern “American” police practices for the same reasons I deplored the SS, the KGB and the Stasi.
i mearly meant that they shouldnt need to fear the citizenry, and wouldnt indeed, if they didnt perpetuate the 'us vs them' mentality of evrybody being a perp...
eventually theyll run up against somebody that has nothing left to lose, and itll be a game changer, for better or worse...
