Not all cops are bad. Don’t paint them all with the same brush.

Edit - Jesus y’all want to go lynch some cops. I wasn’t expecting so much bigotry from the crowd here. Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug I guess

Yeah! Just 99%. Don't lump them all together.

Not allll yardage yadda

You sound like a racist.

Cop is not a race

Eh, pig is technically a different species.

Yes, but they are intelligent, useful to society, and quite friendly with a tiny amount of socialization. None of that is true for the average cop. Remember, they HATE being called a Citizen On Patrol.

Pigs,of both variety, that aren't restrained turn feral very quickly and can become a massive problem.

Your privilege is showing…

Prejudice comes in many forms. Be better than that

It's not prejudice when literally all the evidence supports it. Maybe you'd be process that evidence more clearly without that pig cock cutting off your oxygen supply.

How dare we be prejudiced against the largest criminal gang in the country!

In history. The US cops commit more murder, theft, rape, and assault than any other organization in history. They don't even have Qualified Immunity, according to the full text of section 1983, but that's not what was given to SCOTUS in 1982 when they heard Harlow V Fitzgerald.

Yes, they are. Good cops are actively forced out of police departments. It's a very well documented phenomenon.

Pretty much anyone who's a good cop isn't a cop anymore because they turned against the bad cops. The bad cops are still there.

Is it true the good cops aren’t cops any more cause they got kicked out?

In an overwhelming number of situations, yes. Cops are intended to prioritize property over people and convictions over justice. Those who speak out about injustices face retribution from their peers and little defense from their union. Police unions act as criminal legal defense to eschew responsibility.

There have even been legal cases of departments refusing to hire people because they were "too smart". This is largely speculated to be due to fear of those who are more intelligent speaking out, and having a moral compass of their own rather than blindly following.

Yep. I'm one of them. I applied to the cybercrimes division of the Lexington, KY PD in my naive youth and got an official letter saying they refused to hire me because they were worried that I would "get bored and pursue other employment." Asked a couple of my lawyer friends and they all agreed that was code for "we're afraid that you'll notice all the shit we do, and try to prosecute us" aka, "you're too smart."

Doesnt surprise me, considering they were created to stop the poors rising against the rich.

Cop is a job where all sorts of people, good and bad, go to become bad people. Acab
