Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

There is merit to some of what you say, but they still took the job. If you can't make reasonable decisions with firearms then you shouldn't be a cop. The rest is just noise.
I mean, yes, they are clearly individually bad, people making bad choices because they do not value the life of a dog above any risk to themselves or even fairly minor inconvenience.
At the same time, this is a bad job. Not a bad job to have, a bad job for society to make. There should not be cops. Cops are way to mixed as a profession.
Investigators of crimes? That is a reasonable job.
Dispute resolution specialists? Sure.
Someone to step between people having a domestic altercation? Yes, of course.
But just like you wouldn't want an emergency room doctor to also be a mortician you shouldn't want the traffic enforcement person to be the one to deal with a mental health crisis. The role has grown too large and cannot reasonably be performed well. It needs to be divided.
I think it's more of an issue of the minimum qualification requirements and the quality of police training. I thought that the whole point of training is to make sure you will make reasonable decisions with a firearm?
The training they get makes them worse.
This disgusting Dave Grossman that teaches 'Killology'
And then they send them to learn from the fascist genocider state
