To quote the top comment: “Stop acting like demons, then.” :shrug-outta-hecks:
When you swallow the lie that you’re the good guy, only to realize that you’re one of the bad guys.
Wart-faced hogs from hell vs lying dog-faced pony soldiers, coming this summer
It’s because cops are basically a cult. They’re constantly brainwashed into being told it’s them vs. the rest of the world, so their only real social interactions are with other cops. And since that’s a super toxic environment…
The real reason is them living in toxicity, they just externalize the blame into people not sucking up to them.
You see CEOs and politicians being demonized everyday.
They whine about this pretty often, too.
lol just quit lmao .
This. I know a couple of ex-cops. they joined thinking they’d do good because societal brainworms, and were pretty much immediately disillusioned. So after some flailing around they left.
It’s not the military you can just quit anytime and I promise the Bachelor of Criminology they needed to get to join will be more useful elsewhere.
Ex-cops have a number of career paths (some of which aren’t even that ghoulish!) open to them, too.
years ago i remember sitting in a car doing K with an ex-cop. this was so long ago that i was super lib and my best friend and roomate was going to criminology classes and i was personally considering doing it too or be an EMT. we were going to have our party drug phase and then straighten up.
so this guy talked me out of it. told me he did it to make a difference and serve his community. he never arrested anyone for drug possession, just tossed their shit and told them to never show their face in his area again. he didn’t hang out with other cops and was too “serious” apparently. got skipped over for promotions, very obviously to newer officers that bought into the thin blue line shit.
it was very eye opening.
Pretty much every cop who believed in good for society or shit like that quit during the George Floyd protests.
I am leftist and Jewish.
99.999% of the human race is actively trying to kill me because I’m not as “cool” as some spoiled nazi WASP. Every fucking day I am forced to read tweets on how funny it would be if I was tortured to death. I never did anything wrong in my life ever, but I am forced to live on a planet populated with bloodthirsty psychos that want to kill me because I am a good person, and therefore my suffering is funny.
And I still wake up every fucking day and go to work. If I can do that, I’m sure that cops who are part of the WASPs can take it too.
I would simply stop being a cop instead :vivian-shrug:
