Here’s another, 6 year old black boy arrested after picking up a flower?


To make it even worst this isn’t even the worst, I could point out how the police will never treat a white child like this or the fact that black children have been killed just for being kids.


The police don’t give a fuck about black children or black people to put it bluntly. Not to mention the generational trauma that my people have from past experiences with police brutality and violence so yes ACAB. The police is shit and needs to be reformed.

Imagine the thought process needed to put a child in handcuffs or to even shoot one. My maternal instincts are non existent, I’m not a patient person and I’m prone to violent aggression. But even I find hurting or chaining up children to be beyond comprehension. Bet that cops tune would have changed entirely if some cunt arrested his child or shot them.

[doopayo]

Exactly, and that guys out of prison? He would’ve been six feet under if that was my cousin

You're exemplifying the ignorance that I stated above. Watch bodycam footage on Police Activity, watch Donut Operator breakdown shootings while using objective reasonableness rather than things we only know AFTER the shooting took place that the officer had no immediate knowledge of. As for the child being shot, there's no excuse whatsoever for that, consider this, the police have no say in bail terms or prices, that's a grievance to take up with your local judges and your prosecutors office. The officers did what they are supposed to, and that's arrest him and take him to jail, what happens next is out of their control.

Nah I know that isn’t true. I prefer my own


(Way too many cops are assholes or are evil but most cops are just doing a job)


I’m not bothering with an acronym lol too tired

[Asker]

Yeah, agree with your own, except the evil part.

There’s a lot of cops, tons, who are perhaps assholes/dickheads or at least have a certain aura around them that radiates as if they are cocky, arrogant, insensitive, etc.

Honestly, I don’t even think most cops are particularly sweet or good people relative to the general population.

In this manner, you’re right, it’s just a job they are doing.

If anything, more time on the job can make them more disgruntled, irritated, impatient, insensitive, etc.

Perhaps it’s also true that the policing profession attracts/possess a disproportionate amount of people who are power hungry, egotistical, etc.

Perhaps…..

[Agape93]

I added in evil because some cops are just evil.

[Asker]

Oh, for sure yeah.

[Asker]

Honestly, being in the military, where a super large percentage of my company/unit are police officers all over the state….

You get an idea of their personality.
You overhear what they talk about and how they speak.

I’m quite a introvert/quiet person.
I do not like attention.
I listen and observe infinitely more than i talk.

I don’t want to describe specifics, but getting to observe and listen to some
of the LEOs in my unit has made me quit disgusted/distasteful of who they are as people.

It’s not that they’re talking about anything illegal or evil.

It’s just their personality, to ME, feels putrid.

But maybe that’s because I feel like I’m so different from most everyone in my unit.

I’m in infantry, so the types you’ll find here are the machismo dudes, type A, extrovert, strip club lovers, loud and obnoxious, immature, etc.

You know what I’m talking about.

I’m the exact opposite.
I’m more of a peaceful, nature-loving monk lmao.

I rambled on, hopefully you’ve gained some interesting insight

It's almost always coming from people who have been brainwashed by propaganda from Twitter activists like Shaun King and 12 second long edited clips of bad outcomes during police encounters with no context (almost every time an officer pulled the trigger, it was legally justified by the way) and they lack the determination to seek out what actually happened through body cam footage which, granted, takes a while to come out.

[FunkyMonkee]

Anyone that says it needs to grow the fuck up!!! 99% of them are absolute hypocrites!!! If some creepy fuck, like Joe Biden, was molesting them, as he is won't to do (Come here, little girl! Want to lick my "ice cream"?), the police would be the FIRST people they'd call!!!

[NightHawk99]

Most cops are both bastards and cowards. The police force needs to be retrained completely. It's bullshit how they'll fuck with a random street bum all day but will ban police from patrolling dangerous streets cuz they're too scared to risk lives. Say whatchu want, this counts as cowardice and nothing else.

[NightHawk99]

And? This proves nothing. Come talk to me when cops are brave enough to patrol the streets of Detroit at night.

[Asker]

I doubt the truthfulness of what you just wrote, but if it is do you really think cops do not patrol the streets of Detroit at night because they're afraid? That seems unlikely

What about the other jurisdictions you're leaving out? Where the crime and danger are just as high if not higher and cops patrol those beats?

In other words, I do not think it has anything to do with bravery.

[NightHawk99]

If they're not afraid, why are cops banned from patrolling? Surely gangs didn't impose any bans, unless being crazy with guns really does keep cops away. That speaks volumes.

[Asker]

Why would cops be banned?
Also, Detroit is a fairly big place…. Just because you haven’t seen them patrolling, doesn’t mean they do not patrol….

[NightHawk99]

That doesn't answer my question.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I can't speak for the US, but here in the UK, it's a mixed bag. Most of the police I come into contact with are terrific. The odd one or two are a bit offish

[ChrisMaster69]

Nah, just more bollox aimed at the police.

the use of all when it’s actually few is the main thing,

[SaoirseS]

Just another form of bigotry and hate, which is unfortunately too much a part of society - especially online.

[Ellie-V]

I didn’t know that was a thing.
Anyway... it’s not true. But I think the force needs an image consultant.

[kkirk4442]

There are many good cops, though not enough who are willing to call out their fellow cops when they do something really wrong.

[ThePolishKnight37]

There are more good cops than bad. The bad stand out because of what they do. Plus the media would rather tell that story than one about an officer who's neighborhood loves him.

[anylolone]

They aren't. I know a lot of nice cops.

But I haven't met a single person who touted to acronym that wasn't a thug, most using violence by proxy or subterfuge. (and I had cops punch me in the face repeatedly.)

[TadCurious]

I think it's disgusting and the people who use that acronym are lowlifes.

[NotARobberYet]

I think the other one AWGAB is more spot on: All Wh*te G*rls Are B*tches.

[captain_voidwalker]

I actualy agree, get rid of the cops and make gun ownership mandatory as well as universal castle doctrin for your home your car and tour businesses

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I have not heard that before but it is as stupid as defunding the police

[princeofromance]

I do not agree with that statement in the slightest.

[JesseJayNeak]

Try abolishing the police and let's see what happens

[Gwenhwyfar]

Disagree. Some are others are great people.
