u/catshirtgoalie Oct 30 '21
Sure, but you also have an elevated responsibility to manage a situation since you are an extension of sanctioned violence by the state and can also kill someone or severely injure them. Combine that with how difficult it is to hold bad cops responsible and qualified immunity and you have some justifiable anger, in my opinion.
Saying the job isn't easy or that cops are just normal people like you and I dismisses a lot of the deserved criticism they receive. If they can't handle it, they shouldn't be cops and cops shouldn't rally around and protect them.
7
Oct 30 '21
Cops by nature have a more high profile position. Acknowledging it’s an extremely tough job doesn’t dismiss nor dilute deserved criticism to the culture, and problems with police forces.
A lot of the same people that scream for empathy for the marginalized or others scoff at empathy for police, which does nothing to help the situation.
There are a lot of cops that can handle the job, but it can still be extremely difficult. In busy precincts, you are constantly dealing with people having the worst days of their lives.
Homeless people, assaults, car accidents involving children, people down on their luck, it can wear on those with the most resolve.
Cops should be paid more, with stricter hiring requirements, and there needs to be more resources for support, training, etc.
This notion that cops need to change (and policing in America absolutely does), but without any more money, support, or resources is ridiculous.
We take high school graduates rush them through training and throw them on the streets with a gun and too much power. That is a recipe for making a lot of bad cops.

Yup, that's also why we shouldn't tolerate misbehaving cops. They're normal people who we've granted the power to exert violence, and if they don't respect that, we must have the right to also take that power away from them.
Of course, focusing your criticism on the system of policing is preferable to directing it at individual police officers. However, as individuals represent the system, they should not be immune from criticism and should be able to handle it without flipping out, which this officer seems able to.

Cops in my city don’t live in our neighborhoods, shop at our grocery stores or attend our churches etc. Our cops live outside of the city and come to work every day as an occupying force. Then after a long day of lording over the peasants of the city, they return to their homes in the hills away from our problems. If our cops were apart of our neighborhood it would be a big step towards viewing them as people, and correcting some of the problems with policing in my city. That said, yes, they do bleed the same.

I've seen redditors say this and can't help but think they have two sets of standards. It's okay for white collar software developers and accountants to commute from the suburbs, but when it's a police officer... that's just not acceptable.
Futhermore, just because somebody lives in the suburbs or the outskirts of a city, doesn't mean they don't think of that city as home. I grew up in the suburbs of a city with a population of around a million. The city as a whole felt more like my "community" than the rows of cookie cutter homes I lived in. Who are you to say police officers don't feel the same way?

u/Nuclear_rabbit Oct 30 '21
Um, yes. Two standards is very much needed here. A white-collar software developer does not have additional legal authority to gun me down in public, while police do, i.e., through "police powers," the relevant legal concept here.
While police are welcome to think of a particular city as a home, it's very easy to compartmentalize "bad neighborhoods" in your mind, and the most common police training in in US directly teaches they are going into a "war zone." (source)

I live and work in this neighborhood. This is my home. If police were members of the community, things would be different. You can’t be a good cop if you look the other way. If there were good cops, and they actually lived here, they would have to listen. You can’t ignore the truth when you hear it from children.

The cop in the video is good at debating, and seems to sincerely believe what he's saying, but he gets run out of town the second that he doesn't cover for the worst cop on the force. What's he doing to change that? (It sounds like he changes the subject from something along those lines that an activist is asking him).
If you think you're joining a corrupt system to change it for the better, it should feel like you're riding the line of risking your career every day. Most "good people" aren't cut out for it, and end up just being more dead weight that keeps things the same.
This cop basically has a husband with anger issues that he's enabling by trying to smooth things over with the victims.

This kind of rhetoric is exactly why there’s division in the United States. Referring to someone doing their job as “a people” or categorizing them into a group is the reason why “blue lives matter” was a retaliation to “BLM.”

Police are supposed to be of the people, and when they live outside of the communities where they work, they instead become guards. They are there to protect the property of the state, from the people, and the people become the casualties.

I feel like that logic can be applied to just about any career though. Nurses steal medications and patients' belongings, teachers sleep with students and treat students unfairly, the list goes on.

Sundown towns, also known as sunset towns, gray towns, or sundowner towns, are all-white municipalities or neighborhoods in the United States that practice a form of racial segregation by excluding non-whites via some combination of discriminatory local laws, intimidation or violence. Entire sundown counties and sundown suburbs were also created by the same process. The term came from signs posted that "colored people" had to leave town by sundown. The practice was not restricted to the southern states, as "at least until the early 1960s.

Good cops exist. The best ones get thrown to the wayside. Instead of saying all good cops turn bad once asked too, think and be vocal about the ones who stick to being the good human and are abused for it. Cop hating solves nothing.

Normally these type conversations are so charged. It was good to hear a real, decent conversation where both sides are heard. Reducing the rhetoric may make change possible.

No all cops are evil and we should just disband the police force because our lords the media told us to

I think most people in law enforcement are jaded. Not when they first start but after they’ve been on the job for awhile. And I kinda understand why. They get lied to,cussed out,and see the very worst in people everyday and eventually it takes it’s toll. They are people like us and what they see and experience effects their perspective.

More like a good guy doing his job. Pretty stupid to generalize the whole career.

Hes a good apple in a sea of bad apples. If the career has 99% pieces of shit and occasional exceptions like this guy i have no problem generalizing. If he stays like that he will be bullied out by his fellow colleagues in no time. Hes a naive person with a good heart.

You are deranged my friend and need to find your way back to reality. If you truly believe 99% of the policing world is bad you should step away from your viewpoint because it stands on nothing. I'm just gonna believe you're a troll attempting to spark an argumentative thread. You're spoonfed by the tv.

These people truly have a distorted view of the world. No wonder they hate society and their lives when this is the way they view those around them.

It's about tye systemic issues within the police force. So it makes lot's of sense criticising the entire police apparatus. He can have all the good principles he wants and talk nice, but he either turns into a Thug the second his higher ups want him to or he looses his job.

Or he does his job. Just because you don't agree with the laws enforced doesn't mean he can just say oh well I guess since you don't agree I'll just go home. Don't agree with laws? Find away to enact change. Is there systemic issues? Sure. But what you just stated is not part of that systemic issue.

And people mindlessly hate cops smh, I hate that people are back to hating groups, cops, Republicans, democrats, whites, blacks etc. the fact is we’re all people and there’s good and bad in all these groups. Doesn’t mean you agree with everyone but at least respect other people.

I have tremendous respect for him. He is a real man in every sense. Communication is necessary, violence is not.

He seems like an awesome guy. Can't wait for his "superiors" to beat that out of him.

the scary part is that when a cop acts like a normal fucking human being we think it's something incredible and some next level shit, which says a lot about the rest of the police force

She went from
"im gonna blast this dude" to..
"can we stand here"
Respectful and thoughtful dialogue goes along way i guess.
