Police are Garbage

If you're a cop you are worthless piece of shit. Quit your job and do something useful. I hate you. You personally.
Gawd, I hate having to be on the side of the folks who hate violent criminals more. But I actually know individual police who are decent people. I just wish they were better represented.
@Doomflower I don’t accept that analogy. A tobacco company is making a profit. That’s why it exists.
@Doomflower It’s not an evil profession. There are evil, corrupt people in it, and its culture in our country is still racist, because it reflects the values of our country. But the concept of policing—to protect those who can’t protect themselves—is a noble concept.

@bijouxbroussard Police work as it exists has some fringe benefits to society that should continue to exist. However the bad stuff they do and their failures to do their job at ctitical times are so bad things can't continue as they are.

I'd be for a compromise between disbanding the cops and keeping things as is. Disarm the police. Make officers with firearms a special thing and focus on community service and the things cops do that actually helps people.

So then when the occasion comes you'll be policing yourself?

@LookingForTheSummer so? Nothing you can do to stop me stocking up on guns and ammo.
LookingForTheSummer · 31-35, M
@Doomflower Yes, I cannot do anything about it. That was just my opinion because I noticed you easily get annoyed with many things, and having a gun might not be a good idea. 🤷‍♂️
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@LookingForTheSummer I'm not easlly annoyed with many things. I'm currently enraged by the incompetence of LEO.

This is a despicable post. There are thousands of dedicated honest hard working cops that put their life on the line every day to make their communities safer.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@GJOFJ3 cops are despicable
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@GJOFJ3 and compare police work to other jobs. It's not even in the top 10 most dangerous professions.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@MistyCee yeah. Cops suck.
@Doomflower As a generalization, I kind of get it. But the personal thing gets me, because I've known cops who were well intentioned good people.

It's a really problematic job, but to be sure, subject to corruption and not really lending itself to ethical persons, but, imo, I'd rather work to improve the police then eliminate them, unless, of course there's some magical solution to replace them with something better.

@MistyCee i have a solution

Disarm the police.

People with guns should be called in only as a last resort. They would require frequent training and drills and be less likely to burst into the wrong apartment and murder the occupants.

True, true, although I must say there are professionals in every field I've just never run into a cop that was one of them.

Although a lot of cops are aweful and abuse their power. Also, I know you are probably just frustrated with the corrupt cops. However, we do need them. Especially in communities where I grew up in. If it wasn't for the police presence, there would be alot more crime. I hear stories of how the Mafia basically owned new York city. I had family members that had to pay a Mafia protection fee monthly and sometimes weekly.
empanadas · 31-35, M
@Doomflower except you get extorted, beaten up and/or have your family be slaughtered if you don't pay the Mafia
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@empanadas yeah wheras cops will do that to you for while you pay them
empanadas · 31-35, M
@Doomflower 🤦🏾
