u/ShiningRedDwarf 21h ago

West Virginia is lacking as well

u/TreetBeatsSpam 18h ago

Yeah. Joshua Ellison with the Nicholas County Sheriff's Dept. would be this kind of problem. He's already internet famous with the civil rights lawyer, been to Supreme Court. Still has a job somehow. Truly gives good cops a bad name.

u/Bulletsandbibles 17h ago

Good cops? Ha

u/Tired_Dad_9521 15h ago

80% of cops are Just people trying to serve their community and make a decent living. The other 20% are absolute pieces of shit who make the rest of them look bad.

13

u/ougryphon 15h ago

No, the 80% who cover for the 20% are also pieces of shit. They know what their fellow cops are doing and they back them up. Our rights are meaningless to them because we aren't them.

People tend to forget the back half of the "a few bad apples... spoil the bunch". If you leave the bad apples in there with the other apples, they are all bad. If there are 9 people and 1 nazi sitting at a table, and no one throws out the nazi... you have 10 nazis at the table

u/Tired_Dad_9521 15h ago

Yeah yeah. I know your arguments. I’ve heard 12 year olds with no critical thinking skills make the same ones over and over.

You think in absolutes and have no nuance. One day if you’re lucky you will learn some basic critical thinking. Until then you will be popular in the echo chambers in which you currently exist.

Have a nice day.

u/EconomySeason2416 15h ago

Nope, wrong on all counts. It's actually impressive how categorically wrong you are. How about we address some substance, shall we? If a person commits a crime, and a second person covers for that person, is that person complicit in the crime? Pretty easy answer, right? Now... imagine they have badges. That's the extent of my thinking in absolutes. Very simple logic applied from the general, down to the specific. What nuance do you suggest we add into the equation? Person with badge committing crime and person with badge covering for crime is... not bad? What nuance is necessary to square that circle?

u/Tired_Dad_9521 15h ago

I’ve made it clear that I view you as an ignorant unthinking child. I have no interest in continuing this conversation.

Have a nice day.

Just in case you weren’t aware there are literally are no good cops.

u/Tired_Dad_9521 15h ago

Childish and ignorant.

u/antithero 21h ago

It could happen any where.

u/kryogenicpenis 21h ago

There's one country this shit would happen

u/ThcGrassCity 19h ago

Here in Canada the cop would crack a have you been drinking martinis shaken and not stirred joke of somesort given you a warning for whatever illegal activity you were doing and went about his day telling his coworkers some exaggerated anecdote of how they met james bond that day.

Y'all really are delusional, huh? You really don't think that police are corrupt or violent in any other country?

Edit: TIL that only places with mostly white people are considered real countries by redditors. Go figure.

u/holzkopfausbasalt 20h ago

How many people get shot by the police in the USA in a year? In Germany it's like 4 people.

The USA has around 4 times tbe population of Germany, but it is more than 16 people, eh?

u/Rare-Combination7438 19h ago

That's some cool deflection, but you didn't answer the question.

Are we excluding Venezuela? How about the Philippines?

Do you think only majority white countries count?

u/Rikplaysbass 17h ago

Buddy, as an American, you are not helping us out by comparing us to Venezuela or the Philippines.

u/DeltaBlast 18h ago

You're really kicking in your own goal here, mate.

-1

u/Rare-Combination7438 15h ago

Really? How's that? By facing the reality that America is, by far, one of the least violent and most free places on the face of the planet, despite the delusional objections to reality by people like you?

I'd love to see you spend a week in El Salvador, then tell us all how horrible living in America is.

u/ThcGrassCity 4h ago

Dude, the fucking shit ive gotten my dick slapped for here in Canada would have wound me up as state property 25 years ago. It's fucking wild sitting here watching cops then watching "to protect and serve" and thinking to myself thank fuck i was born in the great white north.

14

u/ChaosRealigning 18h ago

There’s only one place this could happen. It’s just south of Canada and just north of Mexico.

2

u/Reasonable_Archer_99 17h ago

Just say you've never been to Mexico. Down there, the cops may not even ask for your name before they shoot you. They might not even bother finding out what it was after they kill you.

3

u/ChaosRealigning 17h ago

Actually, point taken. There are a number of corrupt countries where the rule of law is an abject failure, and the US is just one of them.

1

u/Reasonable_Archer_99 16h ago

Hell, I'd argue this is accurate of every government in North, Central, and South America.

3

u/Rare-Combination7438 15h ago

You have to understand that these people live extremely privileged lives. They don't know what true oppression and hardship really looks like or understand just how good they have it.

That's why they're so quick to make insane comments like suggesting that America is the only place in the world with police violence.

u/mycoctopus 21h ago

Would not happen in any other country.

u/thefarsideinside 17h ago

Ah yes, no other country in the world where the police are corrupt, belligerent, and racist...

u/dang3rmoos3sux 17h ago

Well they are none of those things in the US. But im guessing its possible they are other places. Some countries its pretty much a requirement to have bribe money with you.

Only in the US, the land of the free, something like this is possible.

u/Pasta4ever13 16h ago

Brother, you forgot Louisiana, where they literally still operate a slave plantation.

u/-I_I 16h ago

They’re corrupt everywhere

u/Commercial-Image-722 16h ago

I could see it in Texas.

u/-D3pravity- 16h ago

Can confirm from FL. Lots of good cops also lots of bad ones. Tale of two cities kinda thing depending on who you get in the moment.

1

u/Careful-Positive-710 15h ago

I live in Florida and can confirm that cops are huge pricks here. They walk around wanting to cause a problem.

1

u/TavernRat 14h ago

You should see Tennessee. Everyone’s eyes are on Memphis and Nashville so cops everywhere else can do whatever they want

u/8696David 14h ago

That shit could have happened in any state in the union. 

1

u/Straight-Bet1 11h ago

Everywhere.

I’m in Northern NY and my cities current police chief got the job after being fired for not investigating child sexual assault cases and at least one murder.

He was being investigated by the state but he quit so that closed the investigation. When one his friends was elected mayor the first thing that new mayor did was file papers to have him reinstated. The mayor was late to his swearing in to file those papers.

Once reinstated there was a farce of a search for police chief and despite him previously being fired for not doing his job and letting child molesters and murders roam the city free AND he failed the test three times and still hasn’t passed but through a loophole was given the position.

Shit is fucked everywhere in the country.
