Cognitive dissonance: believing government is always wrong but cops and grand juries never are.
Injustice: ignoring Wall Street thieves while shooting shoplifters.

Regarding police violence against the public they serve: I’m starting to wonder if we’re not reaping the harvest of the same seeds being sown in education, the election process, and elsewhere: The goal is to undermine the public’s confidence in the every facet of government, public systems, and the common good. Why? Aside from pure evil, look for who profits. Who profits when we arm and train cops like soldiers? Who profits when we say we can’t adequately patrol the streets? Who profits when we dismantle public education?

Who profits from privatizing everything? Who profits from your fear and your anger? Who profits from a divided nation full of angry and mistrustful citizens? The Profiteers are pulling our strings.
