    I'm not defending the actions of the officers. But we've demonized law enforcement to the point that there are far fewer rewards for being a hero, for taking risks. When your culture makes George Floyd the hero, real heroes stand down. Cultural rot has consequences. https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1529802597770616832 …

        If we don’t let them brutalize and kill unarmed minorities they won’t protect little kids from being massacred, that’s just the trade-off, okay https://twitter.com/WhitlockJason/status/1529806204595232768 …

        "We let those elementary school kids get slaughtered because people objected to the murder of George Floyd" is...actually a weirdly predictable argument.

        Could almost buy a “no one knows how they’ll react in this situation” regarding charging in there, but forcibly keeping parents out at the same time while the shooting continues? Evil.

        I think that works for like “one cop with a gun” situations. There were like 30 police with armor and armed to the teeth standing around.

        The idea that the whole point of heroism is *being a hero* - as opposed to helping people - and that being praised for doing good is more important than doing good itself, is a strange but apparently core tenet of many people's ideology.
