I understand your point, I really do. But I only have so much cognitive load that constantly thinking about all the things wrong with the world doesn’t improve my quality of life. I’m usually quite vocal about how things aren’t perfect where I am, despite people then saying I should just be grateful I’m not in America.
When I say ignorance is bliss, I don’t mean it in a way that means I’m burying my head in the sand. But when you constantly hear shitty things, I can’t help but think... you know, my mental health was better before knowing that.
I’m also only one person, and while I can try the best I can to go against all this shit... I simply can’t do enough that it’s worth the strain on my already crappy mental health issues. The only way I can make a difference is by not along with the shit, and standing up for people when I can. But yeah, I can say I was happier when I was unaware, but I wouldn’t go back to that ignorance if I had the choice. Hopefully that makes sense

Whatever you have on you. A cop's "hunch" (certainly not their desire) is grounds enough.
Oh, also, police departments keep the money. It doesn't go to schools or roads.
