I agree that it is very problematic to paint the police, or anyone,


with broad brush strokes. Ultimately, it’s the same kind of binary thinking that my original post was essentially criticizing. It purposefully divides and consequently makes constructive dialogue much, much harder.

FWIW, I never claimed that wholistic thinking was easy - there’s a human tendency, I think, to only dwell on that aspect of an issue that is personally most important for us - so someone who’s had negative experiences with police may have a difficult time recognizing the good work that police do, for example.
