Grow The Fuck Up Already...

[The Grand Nudger]

OFC cops are human beings, but when they put on the badge of the state we rightfully hold them to a higher standard than some random schmuck.  If that's too much to ask, then either they need to be removed from duty, or we need to change the situation we put them in.  Perhaps they should be heavily armored, not heavily armed?  

Racism isn't assumed to be a problem, it's repeatedly demonstrated to be a problem.  200 deaths seems to leave a few deaths out, and countless abuses that don't end in death.  

As to cops not preventing crime....think this through.  How do cops prevent crimes?  They show up after the fact.  People call them to report a crime in progress, or a crime that's already been committed.  They're not a pre-crime unit.  The number of crimes in an area is more properly attributed to socio-economic factors and emotional decisions, not the presence or number of police.  

A dispassionate examination of our police forces repeatedly show institutional racism which leads to reformation of departments, some actual...some window dressing.  This you seem to think can be whitewashed by complaing for them, about how hard their job is. It's a volunteer job. They can quit if it's too hard to be a cop, and, imo, they should. Is hating cops what you think BLM is about, in any case? Who told you that?

I want to point out here that were basically flirting back and for with -why- theres no reason to think that millenials will drift rightward. You;re defending institutions, millennials are not institutionalists (and can you blame us, with the institutions availabe for our consideration), as a demographic we're individualists, finding that we side with the individuals wronged over the institution that wrongs them shouldn't be surprising...it also explains why we don't vote, lol.
