I remember my friend she live near Washington DC and her father was a cop. She lived really close to the town so she was afraid a rioter might see the cop car in her driveway and start attacking the house or something like that. She was only 12 at the time and she was bawling her eyes out scared out of her mind.

I applaud the officer from the first story

I fully agree with the 5th commenter. It's best to judge each incident on a case by case basis. The incident is not always clear cut, and it's hard for me to believe that thousands of different police departments, over thousands of cities, who enforce different laws against different people by different officers. You can draw comparisons, but like all things you need to learn the details of the case before you start arguing before or against. And you may have to admit that your assumptions at first were wrong.

I always imagined that black officers joined the police force in hopes of trying to fix the broken system and administer true justice but find that it’s really hard to fix even from the inside.

Hot take: Most cops are actually good people that just want to help and serve their communities.

Americans have on average 30-35 million interactions with police annually, 99.9% of which go off without any bad/corrupt cops murdering people, but sure, let’s call all cops bad, which is in and of itself profiling.

Just saw that video of 2 cops dislocating the arm of an old lady with dementia who had forgotten to pay for her groceries...you could tell by her demeanor that she wasn't "all there" but they were so rough with her and LAUGHING, it was awful...and this was an old white lady!! America definitely has a cop problem, most of them are just impatient bullies who don't know how to deescalate a situation at all- what's the rush?! Why can't you talk it out??! And then when you add racism to that- it never ends well

Hate on both sides. People need to acknowledge their own faults as well as others. The thing is some people see themselves as good and perfecy and others wrong. It clears their head of any chance that they might be wrong.

Don’t agree with the power tripping a-holes, but I also don’t agree with the “I can’t do anything wrong because I’m black” attitude either.

[astalavista]

23:00 I totally agree with this. It's strange to me that you would point out the silliness of the "I'm not a..." comments while the majority of those featured in the video are exactly those comments.

The best Reddit post there was the Raid: Shadow Legends one.

8:40 Heaps of people have been saying "Demilitarise the police" but it doesn't get the attention.

Nope. By the way, the full saying is "A few bad apples *spoil the bunch* ."
It's not just a few "frick ups, " it's a corrupt system that lack accountability. The cop who told Scott Walker to run, and gleefully shot him in the back, was absolutely comfortable doing this. The ONLY reason he got in trouble was because he was filmed. How many other times did he do this? Was this really the first time, given his absolute comfort and security?

We have many examples of cops cavalierly dispensing brutality, even with other cops nearby... it's clear that this is just normal, and that they know they won't be held responsible in any meaningful way.

I really want one on the ones who were working anywhere near/around the Capitol on Jan. 6th. ***the ones that haven't already revealed themselves***

For the higher up grifters in BLM, it stands for Buy Luxury Mansions.

But the unfortunate thing is all the people who have suffered on the ground from the Burn Loot Murder movement.

[RebeccaJ]

I’ve always wondered how they feel of the idea of defunding the police. 🧐

Most non white officers i have seen have said they're ok with the protests, but they aren't ok with the rioting and hating cops just because. They also are certainly against being called racial slurs just for "being on the wrong side."

That's one thing i don't understand about blm supporters/members. You're with or you support a "pro black" group but will side with non blk people over blk people just because the other blk people support a different political party or don't see things in the same way.

Also that "wrong side" excuse is idiotic or a sign of hate. You don't have to be republican to be a police officer and a poc who is a police officer isn't a "sellout or cxxn." They probably had a large interest in being an officer or they wanted to change lives by being an inspiration.

But of course that "crabs in barrel" mindset is a thing and they hate seeing someone be successful or not influenced by stereotypical behavior.

Edit: Anyone coming on my comment to lie, be disingenuous, or act like a stereotypical twatter user will be ignored and should be ignored by anyone with common sense.

Raid: Shadow Legends 🤣 it's like they somehow knew they'd be on YouTube
