Ask yourself whether it was normal for cops to be at lynchings, then re-read my previous comment.
Part of what makes a lynching a lynching is subversion of the criminal justice process and yes that probably often involved cops joining the lynch mob. However, these Israeli settlers aren't subverting anything. They are not vigilantes. They are attacking and terrorizing Palestinians without any pretext of justice.
If you think just a bit harder about what it means for cops to be in on lynchings you will realize that you are drawing attention to an ahistorical and false semantics debate rather than keeping focus on the injustice posted. Just like these Reddit liberals trying to split hairs.
You should consider how using the wrong words for things might be playing into the hands of Zionists. Maybe you are.
You are wrong both semantically and in emphasis. I have had to say this 3 times already. I pointed out that it's wrong to put so much emphasis on the former, it is distracting from the injustice, and your response was to be contrarian while ignoring what I've argued.
Do some self-criticism.
