Not true, though. It's just a function of the polarization in which we live. To admit fault on your own side when your opponent is denying fault on theirs is to lose ground. Everyone struggles with this.
I'm not sure this contradicts my point. Tribalism of some sort results in these guys looking at the cop describing getting beat by Trump supporters and deflecting it onto behavior from rioters months ago. Their tribal minds fall into "defend our tribe, attack the other tribe", and thus, they don't actually care that much about the cop getting beat. If they did, they would react differently. It's possible to condemn behavior from your own side, and also point out imagined hypocrisy from "the other side".
