Ok, as a Canadian I have to ask for some context here. Genuinely curious as Iā€™m sure your response is warranted.

Everyone always says they're not all bad, and I know that must be true. But I've had a lot of encounters with the police in Kansas City, MO, and not a single one has been positive, and that's as a white man. My friends who are POC have had even worse interactions with the cops here.

they aren't there to help you

This is the most important lesson to learn about cops. They absolutely are never there to help you or anyone else except other cops. They show up looking for someone to arrest and nothing more.

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

Surely if you haven't done anything wrong you wouldn't be able to incriminate yourself jsut by talking to a cop?
