mostly because there's this understanding that most everyone in utah is a mormon so they gotta look out to each other, at least as much as you can as a republican

It's this.

Mormons have a lot of socialist tendencies as long as you're in their club, but they'd never call it that.

Totally am and I'm familiar with the lovely behavior from cops because I grew up in ATL and have lived most of my life being harassed by them because of my behavior but because I'm a white chick not gotten shot just put in jail. I've yet to hear how we can help people who are in abusive relationships from being beaten to death other than calling the cops or shooting them ourselves. I'm definitely not a cop apologist because they've hosed me and my friends over more times than I can count and killed countless people but you need some help sometimes. I'm just trying to figure out how we can accomplish that without having unregulated chud militias that would be 10 times worse or forcing communities to take matters into their own hands

LOL you know there are definitely goons who are cops. I seriously doubt they hang out in here though- they're probably all in TFR or SAS or whatever.

I am not cop. The problem with cops is that they are broken and beyond repair. Having to deal every day with the worst of society increase your cynism levels to the max.

When a cop look at you, probably thinks everything you say is a lie, and is calculating how much a thief, criminal addict, prostitute, etc.. you are.

And not only they have to deal with criminals. They have to deal with politicians, that are scumbags that act like princess and want all the privilege.
And worse, they have to deal with journalist.

Cops have to deal with everything that is wrong, broken and stupid on society, sometimes withouth the ability to fix it.

They see families where the man mistreat his wife, and the wife calls the cop, the cops come and the wife don't want to proceed, because she still love his partner.

I am not cop, and I am happy I don't have to deal with a poo poo-sandwitch job like that. I am a computer programmer and slowly going crazy every day, but I don't have to look at humans too much.

You have it all backwards, actually.

Cops don't become "bad" because of the poo poo they're exposed to on a daily basis.

Most people who want to become cops in the first place are sociopaths/psychopaths who crave being in a position of power and want to abuse others.

American police will shoot unarmed black men in the back, beat them to death, and rape women they pull over for traffic stops.

You're sweet and naive and I understand that you're not American. But you seriously have no clue what American police are like.

They are NOT here to protect and serve. That might have been the case fifty years ago - but not today.

you're both right though, it's both a job that attracts bad people and a job that corrupts everyone who takes it on

rather than bad cops and good cops, we should be talking about bad police departments and less bad police departments

police departments are a reflection of the collective id of the surrounding community which is why they usually tend to be goddamn awful

A lot of these departments are stuck in the dark ages and it's an absolute clusterfuck how they will handle any of this. As a parallel, recently in the before times my colleague asked me to send some urgently needed duty and VAT documents to the relevant HMRC department. After some enquiring, it turned out there was neither a phone number to contact them, or an email address - I was instructed to fax the documents over. FAX. Like it's lucky we kept our antiquated fax machine for the few dinosaur customers who would fax orders over or the one old guy who kept calling it to place his orders. A HMRC contact, the loving UK government agency tasked with dealing with the countries customs and revenue, was only contactable by antique technology.

These sorts of groups trying to quickly smash together an app to deal with this will be hilarious
