    Kind of like how most children who are violently beaten by their owners/parents did something wrong. Yes it’s illegal, and it’s over the top, but it’s very useful to point out that beaten children have probably done something bad. It’s so useful, it really informs my judgement.

      What a ridiculous claim!

      it’s very useful to point out that beaten children have probably done something bad

      Again, no. It’s not at all useful to defend child beaters thus. Especially since it’s extremely doubtful that your claim is even true in the first place.

      it really informs my judgement.

      Which says a lot about you, none of it good.

        I was replying to someone who said “just goes to show that most innocent people police kill aren’t innocent” or whatever. Because it’s very useful to point out that people did a bad thing when police execute them on the street.

        I’m being sarcastic by the way.
