Comment | Was about to say. The post is extremely anti-police for practically no reason. I'm not a law student/have nothing to do with law, I'm a scientist, and thus I gun more on the importance of statistics. It is not the same to have a few bad encounters than to have everyone that has ever dealt with the police have the same encounter. In statistics we call this the variance (with respect to an average). It is absolutely important to distinguish your own experience from generalizations, and unfortunately OP did not see the difference. This makes any advice inherently incomplete and extremely biased. The police are not pigs, they are not corrupt. That's not only disrespectful to them as an institution, but the ones that are doing it right. Imagine if I were to say that all law students are completely ignorant just because OP displayed a bias. |
