Oh definitely. I'd be eternally grateful to any person who saved my best friend from death, even if it weren't such an excruciating one as burning. Whatever cop saved that dog did an undeniably good thing and I didn't mean the comment as a condemnation of that one. Cops in general are actually capable of doing doing good, actually. It just doesn't change the fundamentally evil role they play in a capitalist society nor the fact that on the whole they're prone to doing despicable things as a result of that position... and the sociopathic feedback loop of that role attracting people who want to do despicable things in the first place.
I was just pointing out that what gets boosted and celebrated on reddit is the copaganda stories. It's the post linked by OP that everyone on reddit should be made aware of, and how common the practice is of cops murdering dogs. Instead, I found it really ironic that literally minutes after seeing this post, the thing I see on reddit's front page with tens of thousands more upvotes is yet another heroic cop story, pretty much the polar opposite of this one.
I got you, there’s just a contingent of shitheads who would dunk on dog saving. Why DiDnT He SaVe AnOthER AnImAl. As if they aren’t the animal closest to us, well maybe besides pests that rely on an urban environment. Those rely on us even more, arguably at least.
Most of the cops I encounter on a daily basis are either polite or neutral to everyone around town and on the train (unless the passenger is homeless). Capitalism aside, regardless of how nice or funny or relatable they are to me, it doesn't change the fact that if I was murdered by their colleague just for fun, they would choose to stay silent instead of turning their partner in. The rare instances when cops do have a conscious, they either commit suicide or die in a training accident a few months later.
Meanwhile, what is it that actually makes it to the front page of that shithole copaganda site?
I hate myself for saying this, but burning such a horrific way to go. I’d temporarily put my hate for cops aside if they saved my dog from that hell.

There were 2 other similar copaganda posts in 24 hours. I'm sure they were boosted because of this post.
