Cops are wonderful, aren't they?

 Well, the cops do steal people's money (like the video for example) and send it to Israel, so yeah...

We do give billions of dollars in aid to Israel. I don't think we should considering they have Universal Healthcare and we don't. We should be denying them aid because of their encroachment into territory that is internationally recognized as Palestinian.

But I don't think Jews in general are bad, and there are other places I would stop throwing away our money at before Israel.

The cop isn't stealing. I suppose he could've have said "3 miles over the speed limit, I don't care." but it wasn't immoral for him to not do that.

Sometimes cops do literally steal. Google "Civil Asset Forfeiture" In some jurisdictions all the cops have to do is say your money or property was going to be used in a crime-no proof necessary-and they take it. Sometimes it pays for bonuses or the new break room.

I'm still catching up but have wanted to say multiple times that there is no guarantee that the driver was being accurate and truthful about being 3 miles over the limit.  It isn't uncommon for people -especially those in a hurry- to actually be going a good deal faster than they suppose.
