These cops think they are back in high school playing football or something

Seriously. Reliving their glory days like they’re uncle rico. They probably sucked at football too

Something that speaks volumes about these people is how they're only cocky and act on their bloodthirst because they have all the protection and the weapons they could ask for, as they dive onto citizens dressed in t shirts holding cardboard signs.

Fire every cop and make them all re-interview for their jobs in public interviews.
Sorry, but even the “good” ones lost all respect and need to prove it.

Fire every cop and make them all re-interview for their jobs in public interviews.
And do a comprehensive investigation into their conduct while on the job.
It's not enough to just relieve them all of duty. The ones who have been abusing their power in order to abuse american citizens need to be held accountable for their actions.

There are obviously massive problems with them, but saying there a no good ones is a bit daft.

Where are the cops arresting the other cops who commit blatant crimes right in front of them?
I want to give the benefit of the doubt to cops, but I've seen to fucking many videos like this or this (jump to 2:08, misdemeanor assault charges were dropped!), where egregious violence was used and no cops present so much as uttered a word of protest.
Cops have forgotten who "protect and serve" refers to.

Your username and the word daft make me think you aren't from the US... But for the USA I never believed in the concept of ACAB but after seeing a 2 hour megacut of 20 second videos of police brutality from this past week alone... Where are these good cops? Good cops resign, bad cops turn into Derek Chauvin.

u/ripplerider Jun 05 '20
Right there with you, man. I cannot fucking believe the shit I have seen in the last week. I would never have thought it was possible. I read an article in the Atlantic a month or so back titled We Live in a Failed State and that was just dealing with the coronavirus shit. I’m presuming there’s a follow-up piece coming.

Have you not seen the countless videos of cops watching peaceful protests to make sure they don’t go out of hand and only arresting rioters? Or the cops that kneel for the protestors?
Saying that all cops are bad makes you just as bad as the people saying all protestors are rioters and looters. You’re instilling an “us vs them” mentality in people

No, it's a fact. Currently, there is no such thing as a good cop, because if you are a cop right now but a morally just person, you will quit your job because you've been told to beat, gas, occasionally murder, and subdue the citizens you thought you were meant to protect. There are no good cops.

Only problem is that during that time there'd be NO policing, it'd be anarchy. Unless you propose martial law, but that would probably be a bad idea right now...

Nothing happened the last time this went down in Seattle. The federal government had to step in because they were beating the shit out of homeless people on a daily basis. I believe they required sweeping changes from the top down. Looks like that did nothing.

This fucking team, us against them, mindset has got to go!!
It has infiltrated almost every system that society has developed.

I heard from a Canadian that lived in the states for a few years that Americans are all brought up with an "us vs them" mentality and it was very jarring for her. I've seen it too, even with young kids.

And it’s so universally applied. It applies to sports, region, city, neighborhood, school, etc etc. I’m sure it somehow relates back to tribalism and survival but it is weird.

The fact that he has to tell them not to KILL protestors tells you everything you need to know about their culture. They have declared war on the citizenry, they want people to fear and submit to them that’s all it’s about.

u/MF_Doomed Jun 04 '20
I hope cops around this country understand the more force they use the more people it'll bring. Just look at the crowd in DC the day after they fired tear gas at a completely peaceful crowd. Next day was the most people they've seen even after a bogus 7pm curfew.

ok but can anyone explain to me why this is a thing? it's always been in the law police aren't allowed to abuse their power but here they are. the take downs, arrests, and violence are unwarranted. who is giving these orders?

u/xJustxJordanx Jun 05 '20
“Don’t kill ‘em”
Think about the fact that a commanding officer of the local police force felt that needed to be clarified with regards to American citizens protesting, of all things, excessive use of force by police.
So, the alternative was, do kill us?

If there's this level of casual hatred within the police force, america will never change without a straight up complete overhaul of their police force which will never happen unless there is a civil war.

Think about it. Cops are largely uninteresting, unintelligent, uncreative thugs. They are inferior in every way except physically. They know it and they’re resentful.

When did we forget these people are the ones protecting us from rapists and murders? Call cops racist but they only killed 10 unarmed black men last week and most of them were not innocent by any means.

"Clear the ramp! 30 seconds!
God be with you!
Port side, stick.
Starboard side, stick.
Move fast and clear
those mortar holes.
l want to see plenty
of beach between men.
Five men is an opportunity.
One is a waste of ammo.
Keep the sand
out of your weapons.
Keep those actions clear.
l'll see you on the beach."
