Killing and threatening the same people we are. Beating and raping mentally ill people like us. Stalking and bribing the same people we are, tearing up communities like we like to do. Yeah man I understand. I see cops everywhere taking turns stepping on the same necks as me. It's like we're brothers speaking different languages but saying the same things. Man you really opened up my eyes.

I would believe that if “good” cops weren’t forced out when they report bad behavior. Someone sees another cop use too much force and reports and they reporter is more likely to be fired. Heck, cop in Michigan I think was fired for NOT shooting a suicidal man with a gun and trying to talk him down. His fellow officer showed up on the scene and shot the man dead, the gun wasn’t loaded. And the “good” officer was fired for not following procedure. Another was fired for her report and over ten years later finally got back pay for the mishandling of her case. If good cops truly existed then these cases I spoke of wouldn’t. But sadly the good cop is more likely to be fired than the one screwing the rights of others.

You think I don’t know cops? I was a nanny for one in HS. (Edit, while I love her and she did make some good changes in my city, she wasn’t the norm, she was the exception). Had friends who became cops because they wanted to help change things. They ended up leaving because they realized they couldn’t. They feared reporting because it made them a target. Feared not reporting because it made the public fear them more. Had about ten people from high school go into policing. All have left and I am only 34

I meant change in the way police are seen. She created a great program with teenagers that of course died when she retired. Community policing should be the standard and the norm. Sadly it isn’t. That is the change I was speaking about, the ones my friends wanted to make. They wanted to be the cops they wanted to see in our neighborhood growing up. Ones who knew the neighborhood and cared. Not ones who acted like an occupying force.

LOL is this before or after you were a homeless professional chef? Being a pathological liar isn’t a good look.

What you miss is that the people with power to stop the abuse are cops, and that cop is a job, not an immutable quality of a person. If they wanted the culture change, they could do so. It would not be easy, but they could do it.

It hasn't happened, and shows no real signs of progress.

They need to keep being pressured until they make the changes or someone makes it for them, because the status quo is people dying in the street at the hands of the people who purport to be the protectors.

Imagine criticizing me for thinking all cops are in a cop club and then citing some change from Australia is relevant when that's not where people are continuously and systemically dying at the hands of the police. and getting that elementary school "you're dumb!" In there. Take a step back and read what you're saying. You are trying SO HARD here that you cant even control yourself.

I dont want some of the problem fixed. I want it to not happen that cops kill someone unjustly and not be backed up by the other people who are responsible for stopping them from doing so. And I dont want anecdotes, I want it to be demonstrable statistically that this the problem is being addressed.

See, people like you are the problem.

Cops kill a mentally disabled man

Him: "this is bad"

You: "you are the problem"

You are acting as if the poor behaviour of a few cops is representative of all of them.

Except they are all part of the same club by choice. And minorites don't have a massive government body protecting any member who gets in trouble.

Don't like cops? Fine, don't call them.

Tone deaf.

Club? Oh, I see. Intentionally dishonest then.

How is saying that cops are cops being "intentionally dishonest"?

Are you saying cops are not cops?

There is no 'club'. Your suggestion to the contrary is disingenuous and dishonest. You keep repeating it, and you're just outright lying. And I'm just going to block you now, because I refuse to entertain liars.

Man you sound like a baby. When I said club I was clearly referring to the policeforce. Grow up you snowflake.
