Actually, stray's "rant" is one of the most coherent posts on this topic so far. Yeah, there's a few personal insults in there, and he could probably made the same points without them. But frankly, I think you've been trolling for those insults ever since you made that crass Zimbabwe comment... seriously, you've got an MA in Political Theory and you respond to accusations of police brutality with "Do you live in Zimbabwe?" If you drag the discourse down to that level, then don't be surprised when the responses you get are tinged with frustration.
The real problem with stray's response is that he's unfortunately given you an escape route. You can dismiss it as a "rant" because of the insults, despite knowing (if you did any studying at all for that MA) that the points he made are valid and reveal most of what you've posted on this thread as the trite nonsense it actually is.
