When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites. They do not afford them the same due process but rather convict them in a public court of opinion while an investigation is barely beginning.

1. This is not an “incident”. This is not an “accusation”. An ICE agent shot a fleeing woman in the head in broad daylight, on camera. The language of ambiguity here is dishonest and cowardly.

2. A citizen accused of a crime is an order of magnitude more likely to face consequences than law enforcement. A bad outcome for a cop accused of a violent crime is getting fired. A citizen who only loses their job will probably call it a win.

3. Presuming this is true, why do you think that is? Do people randomly hate cops for no reason? Or have there perhaps been numerous high profile examples in recent memory of police abusing their resources and power & facing no repercussions, even when caught red handed? Of cops showing preferential treatment to other cops, white people, and the wealthy? Of police departments getting armored personnel carriers and grenade launchers while “school lunch debt” is a concept that exists? Of incompetent morons kicking in the wrong door and flashbanging a baby or killing a random person in their own home? Any of that sound familiar, pig?
