MODERATORS
I struggle to understand why any common person would ever want less police accountability. Do you like being abused by people in positions of power? Is it some sort of sexual masochism?
So they are not afraid to do their job. The police need to have the freedom to do their job most efficiently and effectively.
You believe police need more leeway in their ability to brutalize people for them to police effectively?
That's ridiculous, obviously.
You’re opinion is not an obvious fact. My opinion is not an obvious fact.
And no, I do not believe that. But many people do. And it’s all, just opinions. Just the opinions of of bunch of hapless great apes with too much consciousness.
There are few obvious, objective facts that can be discerned by human beings. And the few that can be, are not known by all. As a matter of fact human beings know very little about reality. Including the smartest of us.
Almost all of us are deeply ignorant and just cannot know much about reality. Yes, I include myself. But I don’t fool myself with thinking that how human apes run their affairs is anything other than preferences.
