Normalizing via speech is entrenching this very problem. I'm not saying this thread is gonna tip the scales, I'm discussing that the above commenter replied as if it's the right response. They are condoning and almost evangelizing the topic (evangelizing is way too active a word, I can't think of a better one, but this one is too much).
I think there's distinction between your raising the issue that police have a monopoly on violence, and their commenting that violence is their job. Given the context, it comes off as they are saying "it is correct and GOOD that the police met this group with violence."
I contend it is not appropriate, but accept that is is common (even systemically so)
