I’m no “fan” of the police myself, but as someone working in a government agency, you can’t blame low level individuals for the historical wrongdoing of a whole department/agency. Most people just want to help their community and stop crime. This is the kind of talk that Trump days is dehumanizing people and causing crime. Both Trump needs to stop dehumanizing other races and groups in the US, and leftists need to stop dehumanizing agents

When you grow up you’ll learn that giving a damn about other people’s opinion isn’t worth the effort. A skill all cops should have but for some reason lack, hence why they deserve to be wormfood.

Yeah I know you don’t have any response to the substance of my comment so that strawman is cool. Never said anything about following orders or me wholeheartedly defending the police. All I’m saying is that criticizing the police as an institution is fine, but saying everyone that joins the police is evil is disingenuous. I’ve had bad experiences with police, and have also had some that helped out my family personally after a family member passed away.

Your anger with the police force as a whole is corrupting your heart and making you see your countrymen who want a job as “evil” and “inhuman”. It’s not good or healthy to think like this. Police reform is valid, but calling the millions of officers evil and inhuman is inherently incorrect and hateful. Get better soon ❤️

Well you’re wrong again because cops don’t serve the USA (state), they are a local or state-wide force. I’m sure youd have great trouble finding a fraction of the 500k local cops that are traitors to the people. Your hate against an idea (the police force) has caused you to extend that hate to individuals who even want to join it, you can’t even fathom someone who loves their community and genuinely wants to make it safer. Keep being hateful, I’m sure research shows it’s good for you long term

They do. Maybe no directly but they’ve made it abundantly clear the state is more important to the people. Actually all of them are and I had no trouble with that. I can fucking speak for myself thank you, so get your words out of my mouth. I hate the police because they’re cowards who hide behind unions and abuse their power with little to no accountability and when we need them most they pussy out at best. That’s fucking why. Fucking asshole.

You clearly can speak for yourself, with lots of emotional outbursts and anger. You should probably have someone level-headed and intelligent, such as myself, to proofread your writing before you post. Your arguments are very ineffective, grounded in hate, and are likely to be mocked by the current administration. You’re the definition of when they talk about “crazed liberals who want to kill all police officers”, I thought that was just hyperbole but I get proven wrong here every day 🤷

In my perspective? Who hold law enforcement accountable? Who. Academia is an international institution. It’s given authority by millennia of study. They’re not remotely comparable. Also I never said shit about exterminating anyone. They’re just a waste of money in their current state

Academia is international with hegemony concentrated in certain areas. But either way, your education most likely was domestic. It’s still the same institutions that give authority to both academia and police. So why do you trust them in one instance but not another?
