If someone wants to talk about the views of a historical figure then they should be ready to provide proof.

I'm pretty sure I know the quote they're referencing. If you only read part of it then it could maybe be unclear, but the whole quote absolutely does not back them up. The opposite, in fact.

Also, please actually provide the quote you're referencing.

No. Cops choose to be cops. Being born here is not the same as choosing a profession.
