i am wondering if folk have a pre-set threshold relative to which they make judgments about this sort of issue or if they realize that they had thresholds once a situation pushes them past it.
i'm not sure that i have a particular co-ordinate system in place--i'm not sure if there is a particular amount of information concerning police misconduct that would push me over a line or not. i understand the police as an extension of state power and that state power is an extension of class power. so there is an extent to which i would see the police as a largely repressive arm to begin with--but even with that said, i am not sure about this question of thresholds, or tipping points.
