Which police department let that shooters murder their town’s school children are you referencing when you say “save lives?” Because I distinctly remember dozens of cops, armed to the teeth, sitting idly hy while children were murdered down the hall by a lone gunman.
How many lives did those brave, life saving cops help? Or should we discuss George Floyd, were those cops just saving his life when they responded to a call about a counterfeit $20 and took a man’s life?
Or did you mean the countless sex workers that police have “saved” from the streets by arresting them and giving them criminal records? How many lives are the police saving by fucking prostitutes “fOr ThEiR jOb” during undercover stings and arresting them?
Tell me, how many lives were saved during the BLM protests where police met unarmed, peaceful protesters with weapons of war, decked out like they’re invading fucking Fallujah?! Go ahead, I want a fucking number of lives that have been saved by police attacking peaceful protesters, I’ll fucking wait.
Every single cop is a bastard, full stop. They’re class traitors who hide behind “protect and serve” so they can beat and abuse minorities and kill with impunity.
Tell me, where are all the good cops calling for an end to qualified immunity so all the bad cops can finally be filtered out? Where are all the good cops calling for department settlements to be paid out of the department’s pension fund instead of the town/city budget, paid for by taxpayers?
Where are all the good cops calling for police funds to be diverted to other public services, which would alleviate some of the work burden on police? Cause any time I’ve heard talk about police budgets, it’s often them complaining that the town is giving $15,000/year for transgender services instead of giving that money to the police and their $1 billion budget.
Where are all the good cops calling for the police to be disarmed, or to be barred from purchasing surplus military equipment? Where are all the good cops when warrants are illegally issued and no-knock raids are carried out?
Tell me, where were all the good cops telling the world to “say her name?” How many police from the St. Louis PD have come forward and disavowed their coworkers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor while she was sleeping in her bed?
I don’t recall the PA Fraternal Order of Police ever apologizing for using a black child as a propaganda piece during the BLM protests, but then again, the whole department is full of good cops, I must just be misremembering. I do vividly remember that Philadelphia PD dropped fire bombs on apartment homes, burning down a neighborhood block, so were they good cops too?
I’ll answer for you: they don’t exist. Once you put on that badge, the only race you care about is your fellow Thin Blue Coward folks. Cowards who couldn’t cut it in the military, so they have to LARP as soldiers against their own population to feel like they’re contributing to society in any meaningful way. Cowards who need guns and military grade equipment to feel “safe” against peaceful, unarmed protestors while they exchange hand shakes and coffee with armed fascists attempting to do peaceful protestors harm.
So is that what makes the cops good cops, that they stand in solidarity with fascists and tell them they “really appreciate those guys and their help?” Or is that just more “good cop in the background doing good cop things” that I must be completely unaware of?
Or is it the fact that cops kill over 1,000 Americans per year, and over 10,000 dogs per year, is that what makes them good cops, killing family dogs because it’s too much effort to try and deescalate a situation? You’re right, that makes them saints! Especially all the nonexistent good cops I hear criticizing their cohorts about these practices (this is a joke, there are no good cops, and none of them have ever criticized any of their fellow officers behavior).
But keep licking the boot of people who would have zero problem curb stomping you and then charging you for damage to government property for bleeding on their boots. All those BS photo ops, like the Chief of Police who knelt with protestors after the George Floyd protest who then went on to talk about how we need to just arrest and put away these “animals” in warehouses where we’ll let a generation die, and then once all the “problem people” are gone, Amazon can turn them into warehouses.
Clearly there are just a plethora of good cops, you’re right, it’s completely unfair to criticize them for anything I’ve listed above, I mean, they’re not doing anything to change any of it, so that makes them good cops, right? Or are you just implying that a cop giving a kid a lollipop during a photo op makes up for all of the atrocities committed by police?
Edit: And to be clear, I’m a veteran who never saw combat but also doesn’t pretend to like these fucking badge wearing snowflakes, and I also say this as a grandchild of a retired cop and cousin to a potential state trooper and former Marine.
All cops are bastards, don’t wanna automatically be a bastard? Don’t be a cop.
