The police don't acknowledge that these were mistake[1][2][3]. They think this is the system working. They act in bad faith and so please don't run around grant them good faith in arguments.

We want the systems that enable this brutality changed.

This is like saying "Facebook does some good things so let's ignore the systematic problems it causes" or "Facebook is staffed by people so we have to accept an amount of them stalking their exes with internal tools"

Why not go find me three links to instances where the police did acknowledge their mistakes?


I searched google for "police acknowledgement mistake" and several variations. The closest I could find was people calling for the police to acknowledge their mistakes. I can't find the police doing it themselves.


thanks for the due dilligence

I think a better link is probably: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22police+admit+to%22&tbs=qd...

Though it doesn't give a number of results explicitly there are still several pages of results (though they'd need to be deduped)
