MODERATORS
A former cop posted on reddit (paraphrasing): 20% of cops are genuine heroes who got into the job to help people. 50% are just normal people there to do a job, get paid, go home. The other 30% are psychos who got into it specifically to abuse authority. That comment has always stuck with me.
And guess which ones get promoted? Hint: it's the ones who willing to do anything to get more authority.
No argument from me. Fuck the police.
The big thing is 70% support and enable the 30%. Those 20% are not genuine heroes if they protect rapists, thieves, racists, and violent criminals who abuse their authority. They are, at best, the lesser evil.
I would argue they’re actually the greater evil in this scenario. The ones actually DOING the unthinkable acts stand a chance to face repercussions, albeit a very small chance. The “heroes” are effectively tools of pro-cop propaganda via association and cover up of their dogshit monster coworkers.
If you are a good cop, no the fuck you’re not.
