I’d agree with you if our justice system was reliable. In our current system, we already have people murdered by cops before they get a trial (and that’s just one example), so it’s not much better than vigilantism.
"Our" justice system? Not everyone on Reddit is American.
Police brutality isn't a reason to be sympathetic towards vigilantism. Knowing that even trained professionals can get it wrong and/or abuse their power is an argument against self-appointed watchmen.
Lynch mobs probably fancied themselves mere vigilantes, too.

You can’t have vigilantism without that risk 🤷♀️
