You stated it as if it were fact. You even base your statement on "marketing types" that hold this point of view. Surely you have proof to back that up, otherwise it falls under the logical fallacy of Appeal to Annymous Authority. You're just repeating rumor as fact.

- Law enforcement has an elitist attitude that will eventually lead to revolution. I addressed that.
- Just because someone's a cop it doesn't give him the right to assault a reporter. I addressed that point earlier in the thread. I agree with you.
- The cops are out on bond. I addressed that too.
- Your claim that police brutality is an undocumented incident with a 1,000:1 ratio. I also addressed that.
