              Just out of cutiousity, who is telling you that the cops are always lying?

              I don’t believe cops until I have proof. You believe them immediately.

                  I believe police only where their claims are readily verifiable.

                  I wait for proof because police are untrustworthy. It’s irresponsible to just take police at their word and use their justifications on the off chance that they haven’t covered their bodycam or “lost” the footage.

                  You have insinuated that my trust of police is unconditional; that is a lie. You have insinuated that my trust in police is racially motivated. That, too, is a lie.

                  I think you’re willing to believe the police when proof is not available, and that you’re willing to take at face value what a racist institution puts out there.
