True. Waste of money for taxpayers, but it makes certain people a lot of money in the scams and money laundering, so the cops continue to exist. Just like the mafia and their goons continue to exist. Same as the cartels and their soldiers. Now wait until you delve into the money laundering and waste the DOD spends on military budgets. Holy gee wiz. |
Funny, just come across this one. Innocent person, waiting for Lyft ride, outside of his place of employment, son of a retired police captain, no criminal record at all. Go on thinking it's "just a few bad apples" when it's 95% of them are bad now. Thousands upon thousands of videos like this each year now. Imagine how many are not caught on video. |
There's about 700,000 police officers in the US. So, yeah, seems like a few bad apples. Otherwise, there would be 100,000s of videos. |

I casually dislike police for a reason no one has brought up yet (but in this crowd, it’s not surprising that no one has mentioned this yet).
I resent police because they essentially protect criminals from their victims or from vigilantes acting on the behalf of those victims. For example- if I observed a guy was breaking into my neighbor’s car, and I sneaked up behind him and hit him over the head with a baseball bat, and he was left with debilitating brain injuries from that - the police would put a lot MORE effort into finding and charging me with assaulting or attempting to murder him than they ever would’ve trying to pursue him for breaking into a car. Or let’s say I was out walking my dogs and I see a man in the process of raping a woman, who’s pleading for help. If I walked up and shot that guy in the head, then kept on walking - the police would search endlessly for me, so they could charge me with murder. Vigilantism has its own deterrent factor IF it’s allowed to happen without interference. Police interfere with that deterrence. As a result, we live in fear of both criminals AND the police. That’s why I dislike cops. Because they protect criminals from people like me. |
Ooooh. So scary. Go get um Bernie Goetz. |
The police are the brownshirts for republicans and maga. |
I grew up a bad neighborhood. so thereis that |
Funny how those so-called "good" ones always look the other way when their colleagues are committing crimes or behaving inappropriately huh? "Muh thin blue line!" "Back the blue, no matter what or who!" They are culpable and guilty as well. |
Wrong, they are the gestapo/stazi for "government" and politicians. It's all one big club, and in every country the same. They are all socialists. Famous saying, "Without the police willing to commit violence on the public at the behest of government, then politicians would just be crazy people yelling at each other like in Pro-Wrestling." |
I think that has been mentioned already, but I don't want to wade through all the old posts to find it. Many people feel that way also. Criminals are job security for police, so of course they don't want to end violent crime, so they focus on money generating "crimes" instead such as seatbelts, etc. Safer for them also to harass women and kids, rather than gang bangers. |
It’s sad that people this troubled don’t have access to the mental health services they so desperately need. |
You really believe in big brother don't you? You even fell for the mental health services scam. ![]() |
I’m white so it hasn’t been that bad for me yet. But I will say that DC police basically said I was a whiny, out-of-touch B for filing a report when my car got broken into; outright ignored and refused to go after a car that had just hit my car that was clearly visible and stuck in traffic; and tried to gaslight me when I was attempting to get help while CLEARLY being followed on the street late at night by a man.
