Hive mind, mob mentality, us vs. them thinking is a problem. i'm just pointing out it's a problem in every group of people, not just cops.

What has that got to do with the very real issue of Police Brutality? What the **** does OJ Simpson have to do with innocent people getting killed by racists? Nothing, that's what. What you're doing is victim blaming, bringing up Trayvon Martin as an example of 'an evil black person' really? You are demonsing a teenage murder victim in order to avoid an uncomfortable truth.
You are defending institutional racism by pointing a finger at a community that is constantly stepped on by the system rather than shining the light on the police force and acknowledging the corruption. As enforcers of the Law and Figures of Authority, it's down to them to get their house in order, they should not defend the police officers that murder and maim the people they should be protecting. You're just trying to downplay the situation when it shouldn't be ignored or belittled.
