This makes no sense. So now people can't talk about instances of justified violence? That is getting quite ridiculous. Nobody ever said "this means cops are justified no matter what they do!".
That is like saying we can't ever speak about cases where females lied about being raped, because by doing so we are trying to discredit those actually raped.
You don't see the issue at large here..where your first response is to say this is race baiting? There is nothing even written by the OP that suggests any type of suggestion of discrediting reports of brutality.
