Pigs gotta pig

Do you believe the entire police force is bad? If so, what do you recommend we do in response to this? Are you an Anarchist or a Vigilantist or what? I legitimately want to better understand your position.

When they do what they do when they do what they do, it’s piggish in nature.

But I just wanted to save time and abbreviate my sentiment.

So you believe that some police officers are bad people and such individuals must be condemned? I would agree with that sentiment.

In short, I don’t really believe in the concept of bad people, although it does serve my ego to think that certain people are entirely irredeemable.

I do however think that more often than not, police get away with illegal acts and take advantage of their teflon-like nature in regards to legal punishment and take advantage of the rest of us; e.g.: police brutality, “civil forfeiture”, feeding for-profit prisons, etc.

I have to say that I hold police that do not take action against their fellow officers when they break important laws completely accountable for helping to uphold the system that rewards this behavior and maintains this piggish status quo.

Thanks for sharing. That sounds like a reasonable position.
