In case you didn’t know: Fuck the police. It’s not that I don’t like them, i fucking hate them…
Hey man, it’s only 99% of them that make the rest look bad.
I really think it is the system. It is a system that gives positive feedback for negative human behavior. And I have no solution for it. But I believe that regardless who becomes police it will break their humanity. And that seems like a bad system to me.
thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Definitely the system and not the job itself. As someone living in northern Europe, there are massive headlines and repercussions whenever cops misbehave (for example, every case of a cop pulling their gun here has to be documented, and could result in fines or getting fired if not appropriate, even without firing it). It was hard for me to understand why Americans hated cops until I realized they could get away with murder without being held accountable for their actions, and often would.
There’s a large number of people in the US that fetishize the police. They honestly believe that if a cop shoots someone, they must have had a good reason and will 💯 support the cop without hearing any details. These people view the world as a struggle between good and evil. The cops and themselves are on the side of good, and if they don’t take aggressive action to keep evil at bay, evil will win and destroy us all. This is why Conservatism, Nationalism, and Christian fanaticism go together so well; they all share the same fundamental outlook on the world. The right wing has weaponized this in the US and we’re paying the price for it.
