    So basically he’s saying he has no faith or confidence in the criminal justice system? Wouldn’t that kind of… I dunno… disqualify you from a job in the criminal justice system?

      Since when has that stopped any cops at all?

      I’ve think a lot of cops express how unhappy they are with the justice systems. Imagine getting a call for a domestic abuse. Show up and see this piece of shit beat his wife and kid. You arrest them and put them in jail. 6 months later you get another call same fucking guy same fucking thing. The courts gave him a reduced sentence. Rinse and repeat for your career. You’re catching the same dirt bags over and over and the justice system keeps putting them back out there cause they either are too lenient or under funded to handle them. Cops can make the arrest but have no control over the justice system. I get a lot of us hate cops but I think we can all empathize how hard it would be to see the same people every couple months victimizing the same people

        Or we could try a system that actually tried to rehabilitate people. Nah, that’s too much work. Best just keep people in jail.

          Many don’t want to change. They know what they know and lifestyle is set in. Like asking if you can be rehabilitated to be a trump supporter. Some thing’s are just in you and will never change

            Many may be victims of a legal system that incentivizes recidivism and bullshit laws.

            For profit prisons need bodies to get federal cash, plus the cash from the underpaid labor the prisoners provide.

            I’m sure it would cost the government less to implement social programs that help nurture and support everyone than to continue to subsidize and pay private prisons.

            I have no proof of anything. But saying most don’t want to change seems hyperbolic and dog whistle-y.

            A very small minority are probably wired wrong and are indeed unchanging in their ways, I’d say the vast majority were set up to fail for profit.

            Ykniw there’s a very large anti cop contingent on the Trump side. Do you really think the Jan 6 types are really into law n order? You think most rednecks like cops? It’s suburban play acting rednecks that are into thin blue line horseshit.

      "It’s cops fault, it might be my fault.”

      He’s on some level aware how fucked it is and his part in it. But it seems like he’s desperately asking someone to tell him “no it’s not, you’re helping!”

      His whole rant is about how the governor and legislature are against him, and he doesn’t quite grasp why we voted for that.
