Re: A dissenting voice (2)

It's not a black and white issue, I guess - it's both a snake and an oak tree. People are complicated things, neither wholly one thing or the other. I agree with what you say, and when I was being terrorised by violent and agressive neighbours in Glasgow I was more than happy to see the police, I can tell you. They do necessary and sometimes heroic things that I am glad that I don't have to do myself, and for that I thank them, I guess. Feeling that way and feeling disgust and hatred at police brutality and corruption are not mutually exclusive. though. Looking at the police force as a whole I have to say that in the world we live in they are a necessary evil, which is to say: a necessity that we should try to make unneccessary. To say that the police force as a whole is, on balance, brutal and corrupt, is not a denial of the good motives of certain individuals within it.
