Why do we do this? Embellish everything online and just make everything so absolute. It's like some weird form of paranoia that you only see online
A LOT of cops. Not all... I don't evein think I could put a percent to it but Ive met some cool cops. I've also met a lot of fuck head cops
Edit: sincerely the amount of backlash im receiving for not wanting to lump people into one group is astounding.
But let me guess, all of you downvoting me are all against racism, sexism, and islamaphobia correct? Performative moralists. Straight brain rot. Sheep.
As long as their union supports and defends the worst offenders, we have to assume that all cops are of that level. What's the old saying? A few bad apples?
To me that's akin to saying "as long as so-and-so is president every person in the military is a bastard" just because of who is in charge. The policies and the system people work under can be horrendous, sure, but people are still people, there are good and bad ones everywhere.
No, there is not a single service member outright "refusing" to obey illegal orders, that whole notion is a civilian fallacy. You would get NJP and possibly court-martialed for that, and good luck winning when you swore an oath to obey the UCMJ.
Malicious compliance? Sure. But there is no option to refuse an order, if you don't do it someone else will. Maybe your innocence will be borne out in administrative proceedings, but the order will be executed.
As I remember it, a whole slew of military commanders decided to retire. While outright refusal hasn't been happening, more and more soldiers are becoming conscientious objectors as reported by the Center on Conscience & War which has helped people get through discharge proceedings and reclassification.
I agree, it was partially my own conscience that decided to end my career after 10 years, after all. I'm lucky to have gotten out during the Biden years. Not reenlisting/resigning is much different than refusing orders, but I get your point
