Questions: How would the "belief in a just world" might affect people's reactions to those who are injured or killed by police officers.

How might bias blind spots make it difficult to have a productive conversation between those who believe that police officers have become increasingly brutal and racist and those who believe that victims of police violence brought it on themselves?
How are your own beliefs on this issue influenced by the biases in Chapter 4 (the fundamental attribution error, self-serving attributions, and belief in a just world)?
What would thinking beyond those biases look like? (For example, instead of blaming individual police officers for acting cruelly-the fundamental attribution error-it might be worth considering whether situational factors influence police behavior. Instead of blaming the victims of police violence, it might be worth considering that the temptation to blame them stems from our need to feel that we are safe and that it will not happen to us.)
