So fucking what? Police aren't a protected class.
They're certainly not a protecTIVE class either.

They're like Anders, the guy who pretends to be a paladin of Tyr, the god of justice, but is actually the willing servant of an arch-devilTo be fair, SCOTUS says they don't have to protect anyone.
To be even more fair though, not having to "serve and protect" like they lie about on their cars is not the same thing as not being ALLOWED TO.
They COULD choose to be decent humans who try to use their position of power to help people because it's the right thing to do rather than an obligation, but of course, that's not how a cop brain works.
Also, to be slightly less fair but no less truthful, the current scotus makes a mockery of the very concept of justice and most of them should be recalled and prosecuted for gross corruption.
They’re about to be.
They're a minority of the population so they should be.
Except it's a job not an innate, unchangeable characteristic... I honestly can't tell if you're serious or not.
Too bad for you.
So are pedophiles, what's your point?
That's the point!
My job that I chose is a minority of the population too, where is my special treatment?
We're all a protected class. Yay!!
Scanner monkey?
That's not how it works. They're not an oppressed minority, they're the oppressive tool of the political and economic elite.
Muricans and their lack of understanding irony and satire... Oh wow...
I'm actually not American and you didn't make it at all obvious to a bunch of complete strangers that you were being sarcastic rather than an idiot 🤷
Those type of people would rather blame it on others than themselves at all times
Yup. I have a younger brother who's like that. Gets pretty damn exhausting tbh..
Got an older one like that. But it reflects on his personality as a whole. He’s always a victim and yeah… I could go on but I agree. It’s exhausting
