I’m talking about those youtube videos.

Feels like lowkey copaganda to me.

    I’m so tired of people opposing a “pro-cop” bias. You can be against corruption in police departments without being pro-criminal. Police are the people we should be supporting, because they enact the force of law, which is what keeps society stable. That there is corruption among the police just means we need to attack that problem directly, not get rid of police. Those who want to get rid of police are anarchist fuckwits who want crime lords to rule society, and they should be dealt with the same way we deal with criminals.

        If you’re simply against the establishment of having police, you’re by default “pro-criminal.”

            Because without police, criminals flourish. Because with police that are established and controlled by a democratically elected government, you get police who are established and controlled by gangs and cartels.

              “Without Police, Criminals Flourish”

              We have police now, and criminals flourish.

              Hell, half the criminals are the police.

              how about you pop that thin blue cock out of your mouth and stop with the copaganda apologism.

          Only the siths deal in absolute. And police officers don’t really uphold the law, at least in France, they transgress repeatedly and are protected by the institutions never trialed for their crime.

          We need to reevaluate the role of police in our society because it’s not working for the public but against it.

              You didn’t read what I wrote friend ;)

              I said reevaluate the role of the police in society which means rethinking where they should be spending our money.

              Not tyrannizing communities, not oppressing drug users and actually working towards bettering community instead of being a repression force.

              You call me a buffoon yet you fail to provide actual counterpoint to what I actually said. There are countless example of police violence and illegal actions. It is not the exception but the rule, not following procedures, shooting protesters, destabilizing low-income neighborhoods and treating immigrants like worthless subhumans. All of this stuff I’ve seen it, I’ve read about it and seen in unfold in the court of law and policies are not keeping up.

              Again, I don’t want to “demolish the rule of law”, I want the police to actually apply it, stop playing with the rules and actually start understanding that the power they’ve been given should be working for society and not for the state.

              You are the naive one, without any actual thesis to present, if you think police is out here protecting communities.

      Oh yeah, that makes total sense, if someone doesn’t agree with you they’re a criminal. /s

      The full expression is a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Police are thoroughly corrupt in the United States and it could be argued with plenty of corroborating evidence that it is a feature and not a bug.

      Your little piggies stood by en masse in Uvalde while eight year olds were slaughtered. But you better believe they’ll be cashing their overtime checks after assisting the ICE raids to help haul off undocumented Grandmas.

      That the stable society you love that they help uphold?

        Even if 100% of the police officers in the country need to be replaced, we still need police. Are you truly debating this?

          Where you getting them from? The type of people that want to be police in this country are largely the fucking problem with this country.

          And besides, I can’t even debate this with you, right? Because it makes me deserving of being treated like a criminal?

          Is it a thought crime to think that people who literally have no mandate to protect the public, constantly murder dogs and people, suck up the majority of most city budgets, and are generally cowards might be doing more harm than good?

          You referring me to be sent to El Salvador? Oh whoops, you said treated like a criminal, not treated like a person applying for asylum. I guess if we’re going to treat me like a criminal in this country, I should be elected president.
