I don't understand how it is a myth when it's pretty well documented in a myriad of different ways, from stuff like


to straight up perjuring themselves to protect other officers.


I know, like, me neither

It's a mystery how so many people hear about all those completely 100 percent isolated incidents and see a pattern of bad behavior among our police departments, the officers of which serve the elites only grudgingly and have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the voting booths to maintain our drug laws every single election

Can a cop even give you a lawful order not to reach for your wallet?

Sure. They can do anything. including shooting you until you are dead if they say the magic code phrase "I was scared."

If you think the thin blue line isn't real you're either willfully dense or you have never met a police officer.

Anyone that knows a cop can vouch for it being allll too real.

I live near a couple military bases and even the marines comment on how they don't act so hosed up towards the civilians when they are deployed. Our marines are held to higher standard when interacting with foreign civilians whose country they are invading/occupying/helping than our own police officers are when interacting with our own people. I mean that's just what they say of course but still.

Multiple people in the armed services have said that to me completely independently of one another.

When I got a gun pulled on me by a female Chicago cop, they waited til a male officer came on the scene to frisk me and put the bracelets on.

Why'd she pull a gun on me? She saw me from street level on the el platform pop up from view and thought I was on the train tracks spray painting I guess? I wasn't and they found nothing on me but because she thought I did she ran up on me and held me at gunpoint til backup arrived, then they tried to hit me with illegal trespassing, which didn't stick.

Chicago cops stay salty.

And before some dick says "she shouldn't have been thinking about getting out of the cuffs," no poo poo that's not a smart move. Even though she was seemingly trying to do so so she could attract a cop's attention and get a working phone to get herself and her kid home, still not a smart move.

That isn't the point. The point is the message that kid took away. That kid was four at the time and has already learned the cops might shoot people for reasons that, according to SOP on paper, should not get them shot.

What narrative collapse lol we're talking about the police. There's black cops, too.

What narrative even look at the video and read the statements of both parties for yourself and make a decision after thinking about it instead of picking which news source you like best to tell you.

The few times we were asked to be on stand by as a riot control force we were less than pleased about it. Aside from the idea of using force on our own people, it really fell outside of the scope of the mission in our opinions. Seeing anyone who volunteers to serve in any capacity abuse it to harm those they said they'd protect is hosed.

Mexicans have a real cultural identity issue both here in this country and in Mexico, the conflict between Oscar De La Hoya and Julio Caesar Chavez was the perfect exemplification of that.
