You are responsible for all that you do, all that you don't do, and the consequences thereof.

The one who profits from cops killing people.

...
His conclusions are consistent: The officer acted appropriately, even when shooting an unarmed person. Even when shooting someone in the back. Even when witness testimony, forensic evidence or video footage contradicts the officer’s story.He has appeared as an expert witness in criminal trials, civil cases and disciplinary hearings, and before grand juries, where such testimony is given in secret and goes unchallenged.
...
He charges $1,000 an hour for his testimony and is, unsurprisingly, willing to testify for hours on end.

Thought patterns
There seem to be three basic patterns of thought that people follow: Right/Wrong, Gain/Loss, and problem solving.
Right/Wrong: The basic premise, is that actions and choices can be categorized as Right or Wrong, and that Right should always produce good outcomes, while Wrong should always produce bad outcomes. Right and Wrong are taught through reward and punishment, because of this, people who follow the Right/Wrong thought pattern will have a strong belief that Wrong actions SHOULD be punished in order to teach people that such actions are wrong. They cannot separate teaching and punishment because of this. They also have a hard time separating morality and religion from anything because dividing everything into Right and Wrong makes all questions into moral/religious questions. In this thought pattern, Good people do Right things, and Evil people do Wrong things.
Gain/Loss: This style of thought focuses on what is Gained or Lost as a result of an action or choice. The most easily identified form is the selfish question: What's in it for me? Good and Evil tend to be defined by how many people the person cares about. With Evil happily sacrificing others for their own Gain, while Good focus upon maximizing Gain for everyone and minimizing Loss for everyone. People who instinctively follow the Gain/Loss thought pattern tend to be confused by actions that appear to offer no gain, and often consider people who do things that offer only loss, to be fools.
Problem solving: This is something most people are taught at some point (usually in school) but rarely employ outside of the situations they've been taught to use it in. People who instinctively use it all the time, tend to think everyone else is an idiot and/or fool (which can often upset people who feel they are being looked down upon). Problem solving is simply focused on finding effective solutions to problems. Problem solving doesn't really include a system of morality. Instead a Problem solver's morality is defined by what they consider a problem in the first place, and what they are willing to accept as a solution. It's fairly common for Problem solvers to find solutions that are not Right or Wrong, and offer no significant Gain or Loss, leaving people of both those thought patterns confused and sometimes amazed because they would never think of it (they also sometimes end up enraged because it's not the "correct" answer or solves the "wrong" problem).

To become lost in knowledge
Expanding knowledge.
The more I understand,
the more I am confused.
All I have really learned,
is how much I do not understand.
I gain knowledge,
yet remain confused.
Why?
I am too different.
I am unable to understand.
I don't have an anchor.
I fear I will become lost once again.
Floating in the breeze,
lost among the clouds,
unable to see
the world beneath.
The more I understand,
the more I am confused.
All I have really learned,
is how much I do not understand.
I gain knowledge,
yet remain confused.
Why?
I am too different.
I am unable to understand.
I don't have an anchor.
I fear I will become lost once again.
Floating in the breeze,
lost among the clouds,
unable to see
the world beneath.
