Question about attitudes towards law enforcement and Islam in the US

people are hypocrites

quote:

---

Why is it that some people in this country can't accept their own hypocrisy when it comes to criticizing and holding all police officers accountable for the wrongdoings of a small percentage of "bad" cops, but you're considered an agent of Islamaphobia* if you apply that same logic of accountability towards Islam and the small percentage of extremists out there terrorizing innocent people?

A couple of years ago I hit a deer on the way to work.


I called the admin number at the police department and asked for an officer. Two local cops soon arrived in two different vehicles.

I am about as 'white bread' a white boy as you can find.

They were very distant and diffident. I just figured they didn't have a reason to arrest me, but wished they did.

I will say this: I wonder if there is not an attitude across law enforcement that now sees all citizens as someone to intimidate as a matter of course.

I'm not comparing the cops who make mistakes with islamic terrorists. I'm comparing the "extremists" of each grouping and how their actions dictate a certain perception of group as a whole in the US.
