This is an example of unproductive and actually harmful 'virtue'.

I don't think I can name one person who supports putting someone on the ground and under physical restraint (beyond cuffs, and many wouldn't even support that) for writing a bad check.

So you're (the collective you, using your example) 'protesting' something that didn't happen here, and essentially nobody supports... and when you say that here and people disagree with 'that', it creates a situation where we're now in disagreement about something when we never were before. I'm going to tune you out/turn you off and you're going to say/imply/believe it's because I'm racist and think George deserved it and the cop was just doing his job.... when we all know that isn't remotely true, but the controversy gets 'you' attention/power etc

Myth, Power, Value baby.
