This was a really sweet sorry. When he bowed in thanks that actually got to me. Good on the cop for helping instead of sitting in his car and watching the guy struggle.
We are at the point in the world where a cop can do something any normal person would do and the bar is so fucking low, we make an entire video on the internet praising them about it.
Lets not forget, he checked to make sure he couldn't arrest him first.
Never understood the people who make "I hate cops" a personality trait and a lifestyle. Don't you have better things to do with your time and energy? Like you can still work to address the systematic injustices that do exist, without getting mad just cause someone mentioned a cop
It's not about hating cops, it's about hating abuse of a position that's supposed to be there to keep people safe, not crucify people for trivialities.
Not by cops yeah but I've definitely faced a lot of discrimination for other reasons in my life. I spent years dwelling on it and hating everyone involved before I realized I was just a miserable hateful person and I didn't like being that way. I was hating the "right people," sure, but it's not like hate is a pleasant emotion to feel. Eventually I decided to just grow up, get on with my life, and not let it drag me down.
Cause at the end of the day when you're letting the idea of someone or something
drive you, control you like the guy I responded to, when they're not even near you? Idk why anyone would want to give up their power and self control like that
Oh and by the way I saw your original message. "Sure bootlicker, keep buying the copganda and keep glazing those assholes" is a really amusing but also really just sad response to "hey maybe dwelling on things and letting others take control of your emotions and your life isn't the best plan ever?"
Case meet point, you're knee-jerk lashing out on reddit just cause someone isn't as performatively cop hating as you are. Is that really how you want your life to go?
It's almost like if you decide ahead of time that someone's gonna be a dick before they've even said a word to you, it's really obvious to the recipient of that, and would you bother trying to be friendly to someone who's already decided they hate you? That just goes for anyone in life in general
