Yes, but where is the robocop?
Sorry, I wasn't listening. How long do I have to compl
I'm a little surprised there are 6 cop lovers here to give this 6 downvotes. Maybe paid Israeli shills are double dipping.
Any cop that would quit for moral reasons is the type of cop who probably shouldn't. This message only makes things worse.
One of the best officers I knew quit after being called to a protest over the killing of a black man. He had to stand in front of people who he may have agreed with and take physical and verbal abuse. The last thing he told me was "In insurance they don't throw bottles at your head for doing your job."
I still know a lot of good people in law enforcement, but things like that sure do make it difficult to encourage good people to stick around.
That dude's going straight home to beat his wife. Statistically.
Idea: Encourage police officers to marry the police union.
Statistical facts. I wish women gonna retaliate, clear these fuckers out.
Here in Melbourne Australia, honestly, VicPol are fairly good and give us all a lot of leeway (they genuinely seem to want to keep us safe).
I know its not the same elsewhere though, but in general, the people here mainly complain about the police because
- The complainer is an asshole, or genuinely do a lot of dodgy stuff and deserve it. Generally Meth heads, or shitty disrespectful drivers
- The only other complaint I've seen is that they don't solve someone's problem (like recovering stolen bikes). But, that sometimes isn't easy and can't really blame VicPol
US police in the south were an outgrowth of slave catchers, US police in the north were an outgrowth of strike breakers – now we give them free military surplus equipment …
EDIT: Behind the Police to understand US “policing”
