Yep, there’s a degree of truth to this. At least in some cases. But not to the claim that the police exist to enforce hatred and fear. As I pointed out to Johnny, ~98% of the millions of police encounters that take place every year are completely non violent. As in, not even a raised voice or angry tone.

That's still a big deal, 2% of ~54 million is over a million incidents. But then we also have to bear in and that many police encounters are with actual criminals guilty of committing actual crimes. It's not easy to deal with those people without raising your voice or using physical force.

I have no desire to deny or avoid the fact that there is violence and racism in the police force. We can, and should talk seriously about it without resorting to hyperbole and hysteria. Because failing to avoid hyperbole make it almost impossible to talk about these issues intelligently.
