I don't understand how anyone with more than zero brain cells can defend the police in America at this point. It's just murder after murder after murder. All they do is murder.
i saw this on like a shit media site haunted by chuds and they were all blaming the shoplifters for endangering the children ...because among burger brains, cops unloading on shit in public are simply a force of nature like sunshine or jesus.
other chuds were insisting that the child in the story was probably, actually a 6'6" non-white 17 year old on meth and that the news was calling them a child because of "woke".
Honestly? anyone who isn't a complete asshat it's normally some level of denial. They just cannot comprehend that it's ALL cops. It's still makes them helpers of the status quo, but I've honestly been shocked with the amount of denial I have experienced from various levels of people. Hell, even people who do understand the issue have a hard time standing up to the propaganda when facing down a liberal.
God forbid someone in their family was a cop, they really don't like to hear how daddy or brother is a piece of shit in a death cult now. Had to deal with this in 2020 with my in-laws. That was...a whole thing. But yeah, the thin blue line cult also extends to people who don't want to believe the system is working as intended and it's not a mistake.
My mom insists there are still good cops out there, despite the ones in our family being complete pieces of shit who do the worst things possible to other family members whenever there's a problem. Stealing money, taking a vacation in another state when their kid needs help moving that same week, not giving any gifts for weddings, spouting off racist bullshit when behind closed doors, elderly abuse, alcoholism, cheating on their spouses....you name it.
Like if this is how they treat us, imagine what they do to strangers. Now imagine how their coworkers let them get away with it. This isn't hard to figure out and I realized it was truly all cops when I became acquainted with more outside our family in my early 20s.
You can't emphasise the 'A' in ACAB enough...
When they say "not all cops" or "a cop helped me" I use metaphor. Cops are like those fish parasites that replace the tongue: their primary function is parasitic, and any minor tongue-like function it does serve is
-completely incidental
-the parasite's absolute lowest priority
-easily put to shame by the functions of an actual fucking tongue, with none of the parasitic blood siphoning.
