I’m sorry that happened to you. Nowhere did I say the criminal justice system is fair, you’re one of many people who doesn’t get justice or accountability in it.

That doesn’t change the fact that slamming someone’s head against the concrete to the point of knocking them out is a serious potential injury. It’s wrong when a private citizen or a cop does it and there should be repercussions for either if done with malice.

I think in using terms like “Angel police officers” you’re speaking to a strawman and not me anymore.

I love how you go from “sorry that happened” about my TBI to “you’re talking to a straw man” talking directly to facts about being a person with a cop-induced TBI. Any level of sarcasm is disrespectful and disqualifying.

That’s not a problem with police, that’s a problem with Reddit commenters.

I mean you’re right I could have worded the last line better, but can you forgive me for being peeved that you’d put words in my mouth that we’re way out of left field and mischaracterizing of anything I was saying? Especially considering my point boils down to we should treat tbi seriously.
