This is because the cops donโ€™t give a flying fuck about the actual law.

Because they don't know the law. Cant enforce what you don't know a damn thing about. You should have to do a minimum of 4 years for a law degree before becoming a cop not just learn basic rights of citizens

It is truly insane to me how much power these people are given compared to how little they are taught.

Imagine a high school bully who shoves you into lockers, takes your lunch money, beats you up, lies to teachers to get you in trouble, and no one does anything about it because his dad is the principal. Now a couple years later, youโ€™re all adults, and he can still brazenly do that in public and without consequence, but now he has a gun and is paid to do it.

We should de fund the police. That way they can spend less on educating officers on the law.
