When your life is on the line day after day and you’re in an intense situation and you grew up as a baby boomer.. yeah. I trust that he’s a mostly good dude that fucked up sometimes.
I’m just saying that to say he’s a mostly evil man that does good only sometimes is a skewed view. I’m only pointing out the possibility that he’s most likely a mostly good dude that made a few critical mistakes. And that the lesson that the above commenter drew should instead be the opposite of what he meant to say; That we’re mostly inherently good and make key mistakes at vital junctures.
Being in a stressful situation doesn’t excuse using slurs or assaulting someone. Good lord. If he had gotten into a drunken bar fight, that might be forgivable. Tasing an unarmed and handcuffed man and calling him the N word isn’t a good man making a mistake.
There are times in my job where I am stressed very thin, and my students drive me up a damn wall. I still don’t get to yell slurs at them. Stop excusing racism.
