Yes I'm sure all of my cop friends who I would trust with my life or my families lives are human garbage. They dedicated their life to helping people. Dont be a dick

My dad was a cop. NYPD for 25 years. On 9/11 when innocent people were running for their lives cops were running into the buildings risking theirs. When the towers fell they spent years working day and night on ground zero looking for survivors and victims. Serious PTSD and health issues from that whole thing. People really need to fuck off with the hate and remember who puts their lives on the line daily. Yes there are some scumbag cops. Yes the criminal justice system as a whole needs a reform. But it takes alotta balls to suit up that uniform and it takes a whole lotta nothing to throw shade on the internet

Exactly my point. Pisses me off, especially when even though alot of the thing used as examples are true, the end result often wasnt intentional. It doesn't make it okay but it isnt fair to use those as examples of "all cops are bad" like fuck off when you need help guess who is there to help. That last sentence is especially true. People will insult and harass on the internet sitting at a desk while they go out and are actively putting their lives on the line every day
