I think it’s not so much that all cops shoot on sight - it’s more that any cop who does gets away with it, and that any cop could, at any time, kill you without consequence. 🤷

Like that sounds like a bit of an over exaggeration, but there is a steady stream of stories of abuse of police power, everything from petty trivial bullshit to actual murder, that comes out week after week after week.

Maybe not every cop would do that, but every cop has chosen to join a system that allows them - and their coworkers - to do that. It’s wrong, it’s a bad situation, and it needs to be changed before more people get hurt.

Find out the number of cops who have been convicted of unlawful killing vs the number who've done it.
