everybody hates the police

They see that, but they can't see what role they play in that. I don't know anyone who has not been given a ticket at some point for bullshit like "rolling through a stop sign" even though they did stop, or a ticket for obstructed view for having some tiny thing hanging on their mirror. Cops have been abusing the badge far too much for far too long. It's a damn shame that this has been turned into a race issue.

The police have a job to do. It's too enforce the law. A bullshit ticket? Maybe your friend should have stopped for the sign.

If police can't enforce the laws and the leadership doesn't support them (and in fact supports rioters who burn the building down) it's not about the public not looking police anymore. It's about LEADERSHIP putting police in a dangerous situation.

It is not tolerable.

It's literally a bottomless pit of arrogance and entitlement with you people. If you wouldn't write the ticket to another cop you shouldn't write it to anyone. A two tier system IS corruption, and every cop is guilty of it. But you keep acting like everyone deserves your bullshit. Like speed traps don't exist. Like cops don't write fake tickets. Like evidence has never been planted. Like laws don't get abused to fill the police coffers with "confiscated" treasure.

It's people like you that make this the only way.

You write a laundry list of things that you see in cop movies and yes, sometimes headlines. The answer to that is not to abolish policing. That's a ridiculous jump to make.

Deny, deny, deny. None of what I said is from movies. fuck you. fuck your bullshit. No one is buying it.

It is a laundry list. One that gets repeated every day, everywhere you go. We have had enough. We deserve better.
