It's a meme that's popular on Reddit whenever an article about police misconduct is posted. It's sarcastically saying that each article is an isolated incident and that there is no trend or social dilemma regarding the behavior of law enforcement as a whole, a satire at statements made by law enforcement officials and their supporters.

I'm personally of neutral opinion about the statement.

God I do not frequent the corners of Reddit a lot of other people here frequent. I really do not. I mean don't get me wrong I know it's a shitty place and I'm not trying to dispute that or even say that I haven't seen it. But there's a lot I don't realize I don't see.

I did kick almost every front-page sub off my front page several months or maybe longer ago, and I am pretty sure that is why. (Plus the fact I am subscribed to like 50 tiny subreddits.) I don't look at reddit without signing in, it's such utter and terrible garbage.

Yeah. I'm only on there for the niche stuff now, but it is getting to the point where I'm going to drop it altogether I think. While the subs I'm on are great, the site has changed greatly in the past five years. It's hard though, because the abundance of material is like a sirens song to me. While I like Hubski better for that small town feel, sometimes it just seems a little too slow.
