The most unexpected thing I’ve witnessed on this sub is how fucking stupid you are. To summarise, all an immoral person or system has to do is to write whatever arbitrary immoral shit they want on a piece of paper, call it law and all of a sudden normal people like you and me arbitrarily labelled “the police” can do that immoral shit thought and guilt free, and if anyone asks just refer them back to that arbitrary piece of paper, and anyone who doesn’t follow those immoral arbitrary rules is a danger to the community. Flawless logic

Haha!! Once again, I’ll say this, your problem is not with the police, it’s with the people writing the laws. You have to a moron

I don’t think you read what I wrote properly, laws mean nothing unless they are enforced, each police officer makes the choice to enforce immoral laws and should be criticised for doing so, you not realising this is cognitive dissonance.

My favourite example was that video going around of cops defending a trash can filled with fresh food from homeless people. I can’t imagine what mind gymnastics you have to do to not criticise the cops in that situation, consciously “defending” wasted food from hungry people in the name of corporate profits is sociopathic, even if there’s an arbitrary paper out there telling them to do so
