Some are good, some are bad. But, there isn't like, this overarching cop network that is focused on screwing over everyone. I agree that there needs to be systemic reform and accountability, but this blanket hatred for cops is ridiculous.

How to ruin improve game sessions & family ties with one simple question.

-Would this be better if I used poison?
Secret network of cop, Copumaniti, global(USA) wide operation to secure a monopoly on the supply of poo poo. Cops can only live up to 2 and a half day without consuming a stinky one. Nicknamed pigs cause they love poop so much. Copumaniti.

Being a cop effectively grants you immunity from prosecution so even if you're a good person, you are on the wrong side of a corrupt institution and are equally liable. It's like all of those Nazis who claimed they were only following orders.

I love these comments that just casually glide over the issue. "Welp I'm a white dude who's dad is a cop and I've never had a problem with a cop. It's obviously universal for everyone!"

One time a cop was having a bad day and gave me a ticket for driving while uninsured. I was very puzzled because I was insured and showing him the slip. He told me I'd have to take the court date if I wanted the 2400$ ticket cancelled.

You're curious why people tense up when they see cops? If they're having an off day, or in a bad mood, or just plain sadistic (there's lots of those too), they can ruin your day if your lucky, your week, or your entire life.
Sometimes they'll arrest people for resisting arrest. What actually happens is they see someone they don't like, and they hassle them for no reason until they declare they're under arrest. Then they grab you and slam you and cuff you and charge you with resisting and assault on a police officer. Now you're facing felony charges and jailtime, when a minute ago you were just hanging with your friends and looked at him the wrong way.
Now the fun part about this is "the people they don't like" tend to look a certain way, and tend not to have money. So a lot of these people who did literally nothing take a plea deal because a year probation is better than 5 years of jail.
So now they got a record which affects all future employment. Thanks cops!

Cops suck and the entire US law enforcement and criminal justice system is rotten and corrupt. Every institution from the Cops and Sheriffs to the District Attorney to the Courts, the Prisons, Probation and Parole are all rotten and evil to the core. Anyone who works for them or supports them is a shithead.

There was a pig in my poo poo town who was going around pulling over women, getting their information then stalking them and assaulting them

There was another piece of poo poo who raped some women

Another one went out for welfare check then got caught on camera dragging a handcuffed girl by her arms through the building then out, this person now has multiple cases against them

Another ran up and clocked a handcuffed guy in the face in broad daylight in front of a bunch of people

My town has 125,000 people, I can’t imagine the poo poo that goes on in NYC or LA

family friend who is a retired cop never tips because he thinks they shouldn't be paid extra for doing their job

there's a dude Dave Grossman who has made an extremely successful career out of teaching cops across the country to do exactly this lol

check this poo poo out

an extremely normal dude posted:

In the class recorded for “Do Not Resist,” Grossman at one point tells his students that the sex they have after they kill another human being will be the best sex of their lives. The room chuckles. But he’s clearly serious. “Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex,” he says. “There’s not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. You find one, relax and enjoy it.”
[...]
Marching around the stage in a theater in Lakeport, California, Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman tells his audience that they shouldn’t go out looking for people to kill, because those who need killing—the “gangbangers,” terrorists, and mass murderers—will come to them. All they need to do is be ready. “Are you prepared to kill somebody?” he asks me and the small group of “armed citizens” who’ve paid $90 or more to see him. “If you cannot answer that question, you should not be carrying a gun.”
[...]
[Grossman] views the world as almost unrecognizably dangerous: a place where gang members seek to set records for killing cops, where a kid “in every school” is thinking about racking up “a body count.” His latest book, Assassination Generation, insists that violent video games are turning the nation’s youth into mass murderers. The recent wave of “massacres” is just the beginning. (“Please stop calling them mass shootings!”) He smacks the easels: “These [thump] crimes [thump] are [thump] everywhere!” He foresees attacks on school buses and day care centers. “Kindergartners run about point-five miles an hour and get a burst of about 20 yards and then they’re done.” It won’t just happen with guns, but with hammers, axes, hatchets, knives, and swords. His voice jumps an octave: “Hacking and stabbing little kids! You don’t think they’ll attack day cares? It’s already happening in China. When you hear about a day care massacre,” he shouts, “tell them Grossman said it was coming!”
[...]
Before proceeding, Glennon [Grossman's colleague] points to a threat in the back of the room: me. “In 35 years, we have not allowed the press to come into a class,” he says. “The reason is because we don’t trust them.” He says he’s letting me observe because many police chiefs are frustrated no one is advocating for them. They’re tired of being portrayed in the media as racists and unaccountable killers and want a more sympathetic depiction. If my article screws them, he tells the class with a smile, “I’ll fly out to Seattle”—where I live—“and kill him.”
