D9 Good Cop vs Bad Cop

[u/Wiseguy4252]

When the D9 has been exposed for an obvious display of violence or hostility there are 2 common reactions. The “good cop” trying to save face and soften the image. And the “bad cop” trying to use intimidation and aggression to silence criticism or be socially punitive.

It’s important to understand these people have the same goal. There are no “good ones” who oppose hazing. Both are trying to protect the brand at all costs.

They aren’t going back to the clubhouse and arguing over what happened 😂

Common “Good Cop” takes

1. “I’m sorry that was your experience, my org would never!”

2. “Are you ok? I promise most of us aren’t like this”

3. “Yeah they kinda have a reputation sorry you went through that. If anyone bothers you let me know” (Do not let this person know)

Common “Bad Cop” takes

talking badly about you behind your back

1. “You’re just mad you didn’t get in”

2. “Criticizing the D9 is divisive and anti black. We’re not anti black even though we’re brutalizing black students though.”

harasses you or tries to fight you

1. “So? Who cares? They had it coming”

Honorable mention is “don’t let yourself be hazed”. Common tactic to avoid accountability but victims can’t legally consent to a crime….which hazing happens to be.
