2. Is the OP so cynical that they reject the sincerity of this message outright?

Are you SO jaded that you have rejected the possibility that ANY police officers are human beings with empathy and respect for Muslim citizens?

I refuse to live in an angry world THAT small.

There are awful cops that must be weeded out. I believe it to be a minority of those wearing badges. Painting them all with the broad brush of the murderous few is unfair and unproductive.
