Grow The Fuck Up Already...

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?

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.

Agreed if we give cops greater power then us I expect greater responsibility and greater accountability then us if not then there is no point because we have essential created a new class of untouchable criminals

As for the job they choose this path what on earth did they think there gun was for show?. What did they think all the training was for to give them something to do?. were they aware they might be dealing with tense situations I sure as hell hope so?

As for racism i'm sorry the criminal justice system in the states is proof alone of this

It makes you think

How are they supposed to do their jobs if they have to worry about getting called to account for civil rights abuses?  Corruption is the price of the fine policework they do.  

It's Chiraq, dontcha know, the whole country is.  Those people™ are enemy combatants and the police are an occupying army.  Enemy combatants don't have civil rights, and their sympathizers are misguided.

Yeah that's my favorite pro police abuse argument

We need to simply bow down and accept the corruption or cops will give up and criminals will run wild to me this sounds like a mafia Don saying "this is a nice neighborhood shame if something happened "
