    Yeah, you have a gazillion of those individual stories about
    nice cops, or nice rich people, or nice politicians or nice lawyers, or nice CEOs,
    but none of those ‘acts of nice-ness’ change the fact that
    racism is systemic and institutionalized….etc and so forth.

    To use an extreme example, i have no doubt that some of Hitler’s Nazi
    buddies back in the 30’s and 40’s did all kinds of ‘nice things’ for
    people in Germany. Probably all kinds of wonderful individual acts of kindness
    by various Nazis. But them individual stories didnt change
    the big picture, right? Yes? No? Maybe?

    I agree about the system based racism – I live in WV of the high plains. Just wanted to share a story about something nice the cops did when they didn’t have to. Don’t see that everyday. I think that they’re not all monsters.

    Hitler was nice to his dogs and girl friend wasn’t he? I’m sure that some Nazi’s were very nice sometimes. So was Ted Bundy as I recall. Being nice doesn’t make a bad guy OK. And, being nice doesn’t make any or all cops bad guys.
