Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.

This is murder.

Absolutely bat shit insane take. There is so much video evidence disproving that. Most cops in America are bad people, either directly or indirectly through lack of action. ACAB

Sure, why not take the handful of stories you read every day about bad cops, then extrapolate way outside that range and confidently declare that "most cops in America are bad people", which is 1) subjective, and 2) stated without evidence?

The cops performing their jobs without getting into trouble don't make the news.

Why aren't those cops who don't get into trouble (that doesn't mean they aren't doing bad things, by the way) doing anything about the cops that are? Doesn't that make them complicit?

Those "good" cops stand by and do nothing while watching the bad cops be bad. Even if they aren't going out and hurting people they are part of the problem by enabling that behavior.

whoa there with the most part. You probably haven't even met or read about even .001% of the cops here. I am no fan of the type of person who is driven to be a cop, but they usually aren't inherently bad. Some get that way after having to deal with the scum the courts let back out onto the streets, which usually by the way isn't the scums fault they are scum... shotty upbringing because parents are trying to make ends meet does that. His take is certainly leaning heavy blue. But you don’t have to dive in the other direction to counter it. Take the high road.
