I get this a lot with this viewpoint but I've passed through the other ones to get to this one.

If it helps, I am familiar with the Veil of Ignorance, the Categorical Imperative, and every other basic tool of ethics you can think of.

Do you think you would still have the same opinion if you were black? Even if selective enforcement makes sense, I would want very smart, highly educated, trusted, and fair people, who know everything about the defendant, making the decision. Not a cop, with nothing more than a photo, choosing who to pursue
Probably not, but like I said, I'm not, in fact, black. Like I said, I'm familiar with the Veil of Ignorance, so you can assume I also know affiliated concepts.
