You're working really hard here to erase the line between thought and action, and it's not working.
If you want to punish cops who "
could act in a discriminatory manner" instead of just those who "
do act in a discriminatory manner"...you're advocating punishment before a crime has been comitted.
I can think of whole bunches of people who *could* commit a crime. Shall we lock them all up, just to make sure it doesn't happen?
