The police aren't corrupt (I mean some of them are), the police are doing exactly the job currently laid out for them. Which is to brutalize poor mostly black and brown people and constantly threaten public peace if they don't get budget increases and pay raises every year.

The counter argument is that we don't want that.

What happened to the days of Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the Bandit? How did cops become the good guys?

Beat cops said they needed tanks to protect our children, not just to oppress minorities, now some people have realized that beat cops don't protect children.

I'm not exactly stoked on having extensively trained LPN deathsquad cops on-call for extreme situations, either, but that seems to be a capability we all expect from police right now?

"We", the "abolish the police" thread, probably mostly don't expect anything from the police besides civil rights violations.

Somebody should've reported that the shooter was a black kid with weed, they would've charged in through the windows.

The cops actively tried to stop anyone else from intervening. They couldn't have done worse if they were actively aiding the shooter. Hell, maybe they were!

Preventing random bystanders from charging in seems, in isolation, like a good thing actually? I mean, some trigger happy Texan shooting at the first kids they see might be even worse than the police.

Was that the town where the chief was hiring all the psychos who got fired elsewhere?
