brilliant though

the police are fascist scum who murder people in custody

except when they're being *insufficiently* violent. It can't possibly be because they're trying to do their job well, because they're fascist scum, aren't they.

Must therefore be some kind of conspiracy.

That really is seeing the world through the distorting lens of your own belief system.
