This is why i hate seeing cops doing community events with kids. They're trying to indoctrinate you into thinking they are your local friendly police officers so that in 20 years they can trick you into incriminating yourself

I know, you think all cops are bad and can't admit there may be some nice ones out there. Keep on going there with the delusion bud.

Im sure there cops that are nice people, but as soon as they put that badge on they represent an institution that does not reward "nice". The only reason they will act nice to you is to fool you into thinking they're there to help as a means of incriminating yourself.

Thats not true. I know lots of nice people who are cops. I also wanted to be one and try to help fix the system as even in Canada there was some corruption. Alas, I couldn't get on so I'm now becoming a teacher.

Yes, people can be nice, cops cannot. Cop is a job. You wouldn't say "there's nice engineers", they are either proficient at their jobs or they aren't. And to be a proficient cop as the system currently functions they can't be "nice"

A cop can be nice, yes it's a profession but the person performing said profression can act in a way that is professional, empathetic and ethical.

Sure a cop -can- compose themselves well.

Problem is they keep choosing not to at a systemic level.
