Some people just refuse to watch the video. They lived most of their life in a time when there wasn’t video of bad cops and now if you tell them the story of a bad cop they deny it. And then you tell them, hey, don’t believe me. I have the video on my phone. It’ll take a minute. Let’s watch it together. And then they change the topic.
They know that they’re probably in the wrong, but as long as they remain ignorant, they can pretend that their instincts are true. And you can never reach people like this. They have to decide that they care about the truth more than their own ego.
