When I was a kid anyone who thought TV shows were real was crazy. But these days everyone’s world view is formed by (fictional!) TV shows. The cops are the good guys who go to extraordinary lengths to keep you safe. Tell them “54,500 people were shot by cops” and they’ll say “They were probably bad people who deserved it”. Even when they hear about innocent people being killed they’ll say “There was probably more to it”. Sometimes they don’t even question their beliefs when tragedy strikes close to home – they’ll continue to make excuses like “It was just one bad apple” or “It was just an error of judgement.” Apart from THC in the water supply I don’t know what it would take to wake some people up.

I know @lensessions. There is a large piece of the population who thinks exactly like you described however, there are millions and millions of us who don't. Government propaganda wants us to believe we are few in number but the truth is we are quickly becoming the majority. It's still maddening to hear those who blindly continue defending the killer police. I feel you.
