How many cops does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They just beat the shit out of the room.
... for being black. If the room wasn't busy being all black in an otherwise well-lit house then none of it would have happened.
It's a nice, well-lit, Christian home. Honestly, that urban room was making the rest of the house uncomfortable.
Knew I missed a part. D’oh!
Being harsh on darkness will make it go away. we need to scare it into submission.
There was that one cop in...cali? That started actually hunting other cops when he realized shit was bad. He didn't change anything, but he might be the only good cop.
Pretty sure you refer to this case Christopher Dorner
Are you talking about the bay harbor butcher
He worked for the cops, but wasn't really one. Also he was based in Miami. Don't remember him killing many cops.
cops (in the us especially) are for keeping the people in line and working hard, sothat they don't overthrow the government and implement socialism
There are good cops?
Yeah sure. Unless you're in a cult, you know not everything is b&w.
I know that's probably tongue in cheek but I wouldn't be surprised if some people take acab literally.
It's just the default stance. Kind of like assuming everyone on the road is a bad driver and driving defensively as a result. It's safer to assume every cop you interact with is actively looking for a way to screw you over, will lie to you and will violate your rights given the opportunity. Even if it's just most, or hell even rare that cops are bastards it only takes one interaction with one to have life altering consequences.
That way you can defend your rights and be pleasantly surprised on the rare opportunity you encounter one who isn't a bastard, rather than be constantly disappointed (and possibly in jail or dead).
I'm living in a world that by default assumes all military and police are good. I've slowly over time seen enough to migrate to the other side. Fuck them all. And especially fuck the cult-like worship of military, and to a lesser extent, all policing.
The grey area you're referencing also leads to bipartisan demands. Look where that gets us with extremists? No thanks.
Statistically speaking, any cop I see or encounter is likely some kind of piece of shit, abusing their spouses, or their kids, or other people's kids, or generally being bigoted in their job and likely seeking excuses to overly apply authority put of their subconscious need to control others and feel important, or just enabling other cops to be assholes. Fuck em all.
A good cop that watches bad cops break the law and doesn't do anything is not a good cop. The ones that do say something are driven out of the force.
This is why people say there are no good cops.
I was gonna say Smedley Butler, but looking at his actions as a cop he seems to have been more chaotic lawful
Classical US defaultism
Related to what you said. But I love when British and European people say "oh, sucks how your cops are so racist". When theirs are. Lol
The difference is in volume
It's actually hard to become a policeman here. First you have to pass some tests to even get accepted to police school, then you have the basic training consisting of 19 months theoretical and 5 months practical training. Only after passing all the tests there, you can start as a low level policeman, requiring both more training and experience to progress.
Random people who just want to get into a position of power don't pass.
