Maybe that's why so many cops beat their families, in the hopes that they'll leave so they won't be broke all the time.

People who choose to be cops should be viewed with suspicion. People who choose to be cops for no pay should be put into a gulag. Edit: if these people actually wanted to make their community a better place, they'd sign up to be a reserve firefighter.

Flikken posted:There are states whose system forces a lot of police academy grads to take unpaid gigs where they are basically taken advantage of by local municipalities. That sounds like you really, really have to want to be a cop in Ohio to put up with that. I say gently caress 'em if they're willing to unnecessarily be indentured servants. They chose to be cops, no sympathy.

Don't forget the prison industrial complex being a huge driving factor of the American economy. There is a lot of money to be made by throwing people in jail instead of actually helping them.

What is the point of having cops on horses in an urban environment anyway? Wouldn't they be better off on bikes? I mean, I know the real answer, I'm just curious what the justification is.

bird cooch posted:Cops are loving civilians. Yeah, this is the thing that people don't seem to grasp: there's no such thing as a "blue life". It's a job, just like any other job. You choose to be a cop, it's not something that is forced upon you. At this point anyone who has chosen to be a cop has picked a side in a fight between the general population and an oppressive armed force.

Or becoming a cop is akin to jury duty. Your number gets pulled out of a hat, you have to be a cop for a year. Increase the pay so it's something people would actually not mind doing, and provide them free training. Before implementing this, disarm the police forces around the country, with the exception of small state level SWAT teams that answer to the governor.

I think the answer to that is that those cops knew what was beyond their target, and just didn't care because they know they won't face any repercussions.

The only argument I saw boiled down to "they shouldn't be so ready to go tactical at all times" and "they shouldn't be morons". Both of which are true, but they're problems with the way society works now.

Well, as we as a society have clearly decided, cops aren't average citizens and do not have to play by the same rules as everyone else. Also, I sure hope all of you are willing to agree that there are bad cops, and there are good people who are cops, but that there are major institutional problems with the police in the USA and even if you're a good cop, you're part of a corrupt and problematic institution which makes you part of the problem.

It's more than one, which is too many. Disarm the police, they don't get to be executioners. Edit: and before anyone says the next thing that is always said, step two is disarming the general population.

I have no problems with cops on an individual level until they give me a reason to dislike them, my problems are with the way policing has been done on an institutional level. I also realize that the news that you see generally only shows the wrongdoing that is done. However, the things that police across the country do and don't get away with is such an insane problem that is seemingly only an American issue that I think that something drastic has to be done about it, and that very few people who are currently police officers can be part of that solution. You have to remove the cancer and the surrounding cells.
