gollark: Kind of like with Trump, how he constantly does bad things but everyone's just immunized to it.
gollark: Maybe people are just used to police being reported as terrible quite a lot? Which isn't entirely unreasonable as America has a lot of police so even a low % being bad means you can pick out a lot of issues.
