Any defense of the policing status quo that includes the letter 'e' should be ignored

[ck4829]

* In 1939, Ernest Vincent Wright wrote "Gadsby", a 240-page novel that did not use the letter 'e' once in the main story. Can all these pundits and police union bosses do the same?

* "bad applEs", "rottEn fruit", "no angEl", and "all livEs mattEr" would be excluded from any defense. That's a bonus right there.

* There is systemic inequality in America, black Americans are denied due process and are policed by cops more equipped to fight a war than to serve and protect their communities all the while denied access to basic things like education and even clean drinking water. Defenders of the police are asked to deny themselves the letter 'e', nowhere near an equivalent of course, but it's a start.
