    Not until you go out and shoot a couple minorities.

      Now now, less discrimination. Other weapons deserve the podium too. With the amount of times they tased pregnant women, or beated unarmed men with their batons.

      Guns don’t deserve all the credit, I didn’t even mention pepper spray or just plain old hands and knees.

      Hey now, give the cops a break. Recently there’s been a progressive movement in law enforcement to change the culture and to not shoot minorities and their dogs exclusively. It’s just a bonus and easier to clean up when it’s a minority.

    You’re missing your daily quota for harassing people, though.

    You need to also actively harm society and be a blight on the human race.

    Please make sure to assault someone, shoot a dog and then get a nice paid vacation, funded by tax dollars :)

      I would hope the paid vacation would be more common in America, not something negative. The reality of the world sucks sometimes. Thankfully I live in Europe, and paid vacations are the norm.

    This thread makes me think that normal people should be cops too. People who don’t want to be cops should be cops. Like a true public service. Do it because you aren’t the typical type of person to be one.

    Thoughts?

      While I think it would be helpful too many things are structured to keeping things the way they are. Like systems are set up with a default outcome in mind. If something is set to collect a payment then the auto payment works super well, but canceling is made rather byzantine. Police work to someone who does want to serve their community might be the same way. If someone calls over a “homeless person sleeping in the bench near by” what can you do? There isn’t much the department will help you with and if you don’t push them around they will call again to say “you are not doing your job”. Default outcome is shittier cops.

        And murdering people because of their skin colour, if I should believe these comments… Yikes.

    Make sure you block roads and get in the way also for zero reason while obstructing the efforts of ambulance drivers

    In OP’s defense, I think most cops don’t go and attack minorities daily, it’s probably more of a once a week thing. Most days they will just sit around, do nothing and eat donuts.

    What? That is like saying driving a car will make you feel like a cop. I get it, its a stereotype, a common joke, but as a shower thought?

    The comments are just toxic in this thread too.

      These comments are insane, and not adding to a discussion, at all.
