Interesting opinion - I guess you'd have to then agree that this logically extends to all who wear a police uniform too, right? I mean, given your point of view, we obviously can't label police as some kind of group that's "systemically" racist, correct? In the interests of being consistent, you certainly must hold the view that the acts of individuals don't reflect any/all who are part of the same organization.

By the way, that also holds for all residents of The Villages. I don't know what happened to this man, but it does seem clear that it was an individual who committed the assault. It wasn't a community, unlike what some here (not directed at you, personally) in the forum would like to portray. Yep, seemingly fewer and fewer care about individual responsibility any more. It's so much easier to just label a group and tarnish their collective names / reputations. It's a pretty pathetic exercise, but I'm seeing it more and more often.
