1 dead after LMPD officers, National Guard shot at while attempting to disperse crowd

Those are both overgeneralizations. Smart people can be in any job and so can stupid people. Cooking is mostly an honest living with reasonable intelligent people, although some can sell people expired food you pulled out of a dumpster. Police do their jobs the legal way to help the community, although some break laws or abuse their powers.

Demagogues seeking to abuse the ignorance of the masses for power have always tried to make the public believe everyone in a target population are the evil ones who must be persecuted or destroyed. The antidote for this kind of poison is the truth.
