You are objectively correct that this person is dumb and has said dumb things

Completely and totally wrong, sorry. Think for a second. Why is it so hard to get the prosecutor to try a cop? Extend that idea to the whole jury.
I didn't understand this at all. I get prosecutors, prosecutors have a disincentive to try police, because they need police to gather evidence and if police dislike a prosecutor, the prosecutor may have trouble securing evidence which they need for future trials. How does that map to jurors? Fill in the blanks "Jurors have a disincentive to convict <group X> because they need <group X> to <activity Y> and if <group X> disliked jurors, the jurors may have trouble securing <result of activity Y> which they need for future <activity Z>".
