Jesus, you’re so blinded with rage.
You know a cop could join the force in a small town that isn’t corrupt. Or a cop could help a best they can by joining instead of just complaining online. You jumped up Nazis because of course, but to answer you, yes. If a Nazi in WW2 saved Jewish lives I would call them a good person. They couldn’t stop the war, but if they saved who they could I would admire that. Not being able to fix the whole system doesn’t mean you can’t do what you can to make things a little better.
You said "That was only cops, y’know, the same ones you’re saying are “good people” because they have good intentions. " I never said either if those things. I said some of them can be good people and even said a lot of them are bad. Jesus, you’re just reading what you want at this point, you don’t even care about what’s being said, you’re just throwing a fit.
And I’m not asking you to provide good instances of cops doing things, I’m saying you’re not even willing to acknowledge it. I can admit the institution of policing is corrupted and there are a lot of bad people, but I’m not willing to call them all bad outright without even knowing them or what they’ve done.
And wait, what, my fragile ego? That’s just a random insult for no reason, how is this about my ego? I’m just disagreeing with you so you feel the need to insult me, I get it. You’re all rage all the time, no nuance, everyone is the enemy.
What I find hilarious is that you joined the military, who kills tons of innocent people, then judge the cops for the same thing. You’re the exact thing you hate.
Lighto, you win the argument by default, since Blitzo has been banned by lemmy.world admins.
I hate cops probably more than Blitzo does, but I’m less evangelical. I did find the conversation interesting, though, and thanks to both of you for staying mostly cordial.
