CDZ A Few Conservatives get it.

You do realize most conservatives aren't cops, right?

I have a different intuition about that. Most cops I've known have been politically conservative in their views.

Even then most cops don't eff up like the few cases you can hyperventilate over. Thinking is like going to the gym, the more you do it, the easier it gets.

Most cops are not brutal dicks but they don't hold their bad guys to the same standard as the civilian population they protect and serve; maybe you need a few more mental push ups before you catch on?

"Baltimore’s protesters have demonstrated a just anger: anger over the fact that police brutality has not been identified, punished, and rooted out. They have expressed anger over the deaths and grievances that their communities have experienced. While it is true that violence and crime are deserving of punishment, it is also true that the rule of law must prevail. Because brutality does nothing but encourage fear, anger, and loathing.

"As Matthew Loftus put it Tuesday, 'The police still resemble an ‘occupying force’ to many, and the frequency with which the power of the badge appears to corrupt officers is disturbing. … When Joe Crystal, a Baltimore police officer, tried to report a beating that his fellow officer gave, he found a dead rat on his car, showing that the departmental culture is interested more in self-preservation than self-improvement.'”

Fact remains that the GOP is shedding any intellectual base at a rapid pace

This is hilarious. You need to study voting demographics. The ultra-rich and ultra- indoctrinated/professors tend to vote liberal. The majority of the upper and middle class, in fact the majority with a college education vote conservative. The poor vote heavily liberal. Those that actually think for themselves vote conservative. Liberals are one-step thinkers and ideologues.

'Have Conservatives Lost Their Compassion?'

""As Bonnie Kristian pointed out in an article for TAC last year, police brutality in America is systemic—and the punishments dealt out for police misconduct are minimal. The city of Baltimore payed $5.7 million to victims of brutality between 2011 and 2014, and “more than 100 people have won court judgments or settlements related to allegations of brutality and civil-rights violations.” Here is a list of some of these victims of police brutality:

"A 15-year-old boy riding a dirt bike, a 26-year-old pregnant accountant who had witnessed a beating, a 50-year-old woman selling church raffle tickets, a 65-year-old church deacon rolling a cigarette and an 87-year-old grandmother aiding her wounded grandson. … Officers have battered dozens of residents who suffered broken bones — jaws, noses, arms, legs, ankles — head trauma, organ failure, and even death, coming during questionable arrests. Some residents were beaten while handcuffed; others were thrown to the pavement.""

You argument is against conservatives or the GOP losing it's compassion? Ok, I'll play along. Ohio Conservative Gov John Kasich just ordered that Ohio Police must wear body cameras. Problem solved. Your argument is invalid.
