There’s a difference btw not having friends bc the world is cruel and not having friends because you are the cruelty in this world and this picture is referring to the latter but thank you for bringing awareness to something completely unrelated but still important…in another conversation

Well the stories line up before you learn, they sound the same. Hence why I brought it up.

Definitely not unrelated lmfao, like they said it’s almost impossible to tell the difference when you first meet someone

like I cannot stress how evil people are to autistics. 10 students in my class in middle school decided to all falsely accuse me of calling a kid a slur because “she doesn’t talk to anyone, so we assumed it was because she thought she was better than us, and she needed to be taken down a notch”

It took me until college to find an actual friend group, and even then dealt with middle school level bullying. I cried to the band director and almost quit because it got so rough once 😭 like i am an adult, i work at the state law enforcement agency, I earned 2 degrees and graduated early, why am i crying over a literal mean girl spreading lies about me bc I accidentally found out she was cheating on her boyfriend 😭😭😭 how am I THE WRONG one here

you absolutely do not deserve any disrespect or cruelty whatsoever for being autistic! I sure can’t say the same about your occupation though

and if she’s autistic, has cptsd, And is chronically ill (not to mention fat, due to said chronic illness) since childhood… idk man. someone not having friends and talking about feeling wronged by others just should not necessarily be interpreted as a red flag

Ma’am i was an intern in the behavioral science unit in the state with the best police reform in the country (which plot twist is a red state). Half my job is literally advocating for mental health assistance and training officers on recognizing mental health crises and intervention. Not everyone is a cop. And even if I was, 90% of cops I met were working incredibly hard at reform advocation, so they’re not all bad. Don’t be an ass and wish cruelty on people

reform is insufficient for a punitive industry that got its start as the literal “slave patrol”, that shit needs full-blown abolishing. your defensiveness over the people you work with is a whole additional red flag. ACAB means ACAB

Again, wasn’t a cop. But again, thanks for continuing a cycle of abuse and violence by advocating for literal cruelty against an entire industry :) (also policing in America originated with debtors prisons, NOT slave patrol. While that history should not be ignored and continued to reflect on its impact on modern policing, it’s a bit of a false narrative. But please continue telling the people pushing for positive change they’re still evil, that always works wonders and never contributes to harm

“I work at the state law enforcement agency” is what you said. that’s your employer, whether or not you’re a literal police officer doesn’t make much difference—ACAB still applies “a cycle of abuse and violence”? lmfao. the job you work is a choice, and not one you are materially oppressed for having made. the system of prisons & policing is murderously unethical, all I’m doing is saying that since you choose to participate in it, I don’t care if people are cruel to you about that choice

hmmm, who do I trust more to tell the truth about the history of policing in the US: the NAACP, or someone who’s employed by the police and defensive over the moral character of their cop buddies https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/origins-modern-day-policing if you don’t think that history should be erased, why are you calling it a false narrative?

even if it’s historically rooted in the legacy of both the slave patrol And debtors’ prisons, the latter is worth being ashamed of as well. if it upsets you this bad for others to think you’re up to some evil shit, you could always, idk, stop working for such an evil institution

ACAB but like some cops genuinely want to make the world a better place... they're bastards because they're often exempt from the law and/or given too much power. Good cops exist they're just really, really hard to come by

The institution will never get better if we don’t have some good eggs on the inside after all

I’m very sorry for your experience and all of those cops deserve to go to hell. There are good people in the police force— and as you say, they often don’t last— but people want to help people and some people see law enforcement as the way to do that. However that doesn’t make your experience any less real or harrowing. THOSE are the cops that we need to get rid of and we need to encourage and help kind hearted cops to stay in law enforcement

No. I will never stop working to better an institution and advocating for the improved treatment of anyone who may come into contact with it. Sorry that pisses you off
