        See, the issue with your statement is the “you” part. As a dark skinned person with leftist political stances, I don’t believe I can get away with what cops do.

          Cops are just one of many examples. Here are some other ways of legally killing people:

          • joining the army
          • becoming a doctor and systemically neglect women and poc
          • fatally injuring someone in self defense
          • getting someone pregant in places with abortion bans

          Notice that I said killing, not ‘murdering’. So long as it’s either not deliberate or acceptable by law, you can legally get people killed.

              You can’t always prove intent. That’s why some of these problems are systemic. Which one are you doubting? There are too many examples of each for me to list all of them.
