Attempted to steer back towards that topic. Maher decided it was Hillary Vs Trump, not why cops shoot people of colour.

Small minds talk people. Great minds talk about the issue. I do agree with Maher on one point, when people take the job of protector of the peace, they should understand that the job comes with danger, and that they are putting the public's well being ahead of their own. I understood that when I joined the military, what I don't understand is where that belief became lost on future generations.
