Generalizations get tiring after high school.
generalisations shouldn’t be applied to individuals but often hold true for groups… a non-trivial number of US police officers escalate situations if they aren’t given “respect” and compliance. that is a fact… when applied to a decent period of time, over a city full of US police officers, escalation is all but inevitable: not for any individual, but the group
Availability heuristic. You don't hear about the thousands more peaceful altercations. The only ones you hear about are the violent ones which, surprise surprise, are more likely to get shown in the media
Well yeah but there are wayyy too many violent interactions
Also during every violent interaction how many “good cops” just stood there and watched?
40% of cops admit to abusing their partners lmao
It’s basically safe to assume if someone wants to be or is a cop they’re really just an actual psychotic criminal underneath
Gonna have to provide some statistics buddy. This is just polemics from you
Fuck the fucking pigs. Guilty until proven innocent at this point. I give game wardens and postal inspectors a pass, I guess.
I hope most of them die in a fire and it hurts the whole time.
I had a dear friend who was gang raped by sheriff's deputies. I reckon that's just an anecdote.
Unless this happened in a third world country, i reckon those cops would be in jail by now.
Condolences to your friend
lol cops routinely sexually assault and murder people in America
You are delusional and probably a nefarious actor
Dude he specifically used the word "gang-raped" not "mild groping" or "gawking". I don't think it's far-fetched to assume those cops are now behind bars for GANG-RAPING someone
Uh cops RAPE people in America and get away with it all the time
Where the fuck have you been for the past however many decades you’ve been alive?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankin_County_torture_incident
that’s not relevant though… in a situation where you only need 1, you only need 1
and the statement had nothing to do with individual officers, so you can’t apply it to individual officers: the group that is US police officers frequently escalate situations… individual interactions are irrelevant to that statement
