“Hate” seems to be chucked about so much in articles currently. It’s so emotive and shortcuts a rational process of figuring things out.
She said a cruel thing, but is clearly acting without a sense of empathy. The answer is not to destroy those who don’t understand but educate them. Children are given the benefit of the doubt, but once someone is 18+ they may still be developmentally a child. I’m not talking about learning disabilities but emotional maturity. Our current culture appears to be retarding those who aren’t yet familiar with questioning the information they are given.
There are loads of reasons as to why she would behave in such a way. People’s attitudes/experiences with Police make them forget that they are ordinary humans too.
What she said is unacceptable, but reacting in this way will only compound and reinforce these behaviours.
I too find it horrifying to see how humans behave but it doesn’t just stem from nowhere. She is a symptom, not the problem.
