That basically is what I'm suggesting, but it's not just one instance, it's hundreds. The media tells you that cops are massacring people left and right, yet the statistics tell a different story.
It's usually only about 1,000 people a year who are killed by police. And given the number of crimes, the number of cops, and the number of perps in the country, this is a very low number.
And the reason this overexposure is bad is because all these instances are completely isolated from one another. They occur in different cities in different states, managed by different governments, and most of the time it's either a dumb cop making a dumb decision or a justified cop being basically framed by unethical journalists. All of these incidents are being linked together trying to find a pattern or a conspiracy where it doesn't exist. They're a few people who make mistakes or a few bad apples that spoil the bunch.
I'll be honest, I don't even know who that is. I don't often pay attention to a lot of news stories, partly due to lack of time and due to the reasons I mentioned earlier. If you want another example of how media glamor causes harm, look at all the mass shootings that have happened since Little Rock, CO in 1999. It happened in only one town, but everyone in the country was watching it for weeks, and future psychopaths with narcissistic tendencies took that as a challenge to beat and as a sick legacy to leave for themselves.
This is straight up stupid take.
