I think the strongest indication why it won’t work is because it’s an image designed to be shown on the evening news. Which would only work for people who watch the evening news. But yes, Stassa’s point is completely well-taken, and it is vapid image-consciousness, for two basic reasons.

It’s more than meaningless, it’s an outright lie.

They’re an attempt by a few sympathetic (or strategic) cops to set themselves apart from the overwhelming numbers of cops, sheriffs, Natl guardsmen behaving atrociously. Everyone sees the imagery of the worst police behavior; so some more evolved cops are trying to make a statement in contrast. - or perhaps…

Agree, that moment on Project Runway when a contestant made the Ivanka and Jared comment and all the judges were so aghast and horrified that anyone dare attack pour innocent Karlie thusly was the worst! She’s not a victim here and the whole thing just reeked of the old gaslighting ‘civility’ argument. Yes it’s…

She hit racist bitch bingo.

“...how my own behavior towards fellow cast members was perceived by them.”

I did not know Da Brat hadn’t already come out.
