It's funny how when cops do something good, nobody knows or gives a shit, but when a cop shoots someone, everyone starts going crazy and comment "ACAB" everywhere.
Them doing something good is supposed to be the status qo.
There are plenty of tough jobs that require more praise where not doing a good job doesnt equal killing people.
Now i don’t align with acab, i know that its statistically not true, but rotten apples will spoil the basket and i haven’t seen a law enforcement that looked trustworthy and helpful in a long time.
Well of course you haven't seen law enforcement being helpful, between "Police shot an armed bank robber and everyone else is unharmed" and "Police shot an unarmed teenager", what do you think will get more public attention? It's definitely not "Police helped an old woman crossed the street", nobody gives a fuck about that, I've run into both good and bad cops and even I don't care.
And it gets attention because it shouldn't happen, yet the police over there keep killing people they shouldn't.
And how does it justify saying "All cops are bastards"? What makes you think ALL cops are bad? Every single one? Or maybe there are two sides of a coin and you just straight up refuse to accept the fact that the other side exists? Tell me, if you hate cops that much, would you call them if your children get kidnap? And what would happen to society if the police or any group that enforce the law is no more?
Do good cops out the bad ones? Nope. They'll just let them do their corrupt bullshit making them complicit in the harm they do. Do we need cops? Yes. Do we need cops murdering civilians without serious consequence?
.
How about you show me the number of people killed by police and the number of people helped by police in a year? Also, based on you "logic", cops aren't supposed to do anything good, they have to kill people constantly in order to be cops, if a cop doesn't do any of that, they are not a cop? And since you didn't answer my questions. Imma ask them again: "And how does it justify saying “All cops are bastards”? What makes you think ALL cops are bad? Every single one? Or maybe there are two sides of a coin and you just straight up refuse to accept the fact that the other side exists? Tell me, if you hate cops that much, would you call them if your children get kidnap? And what would happen to society if the police or any group that enforce the law is no more?" Oh and an extra one: If ALL cops are bad, every single one of them, how come there aren't riots or resistance EVERYWHERE?
That's kinda like complaining about how nobody talks about how airlines keep planes flying and landing successfully, how the media only focuses on planes crashing and accidents. "Sure, this one airline covered up poor maintenance practices leading to deaths, but what about all the passengers airlines help everyday?"
Imagine airlines get to investigate themselves instead of the FAA and how it would go over when they find they did nothing wrong every time.
I'll reply "ACAB" on posts of cops doing the right thing, too. The first A isn't just for show.
Doing "something good" doesn't suddenly make up for all the people they've killed, maimed, raped, etc. Isn't it crazy that cops can do this all the time and nothing happens? Not acknowledging there's a problem that people are ignoring is crazy.
You can't trust a cadre of people who have been proven to be likely to have an authoritarian personality to be the arbiter of justice in high-stress situations and hand them lethal weapons - especially not after training them that every single person they meet could be dangerous.
He shot someone running away in the back, I guess because he didn't feel like running after him even though he's both mandated to be in shape and monetarily compensated for it. Generally that's seen as worthless coward behaviour, but it looks like @0Xero0 loves that type of thing!
You must also believe we should execute people instead of putting them on trial, because that's what happens every time a cop kills someone for a simple traffic violation or for running away/freezing up because they're scared.
You can't stand next to a guy like this and retain your moral authority. The spoiled apple ruins the entire barrel.
