      "The Squad" or whatever are clearly still firmly in the liberal mindset that the institutions of the US and its police force merely do bad things but are not bad at their core, this is the same for when they selectively decide to be against certain imperialist actions but promote others, US hegemony isnt bad but it can do bad things for them.

      They let them in because they weren't paid enough. Now they can let them in AND give them their shiny new assault rifles too!

        lol the idea that police en masse aren't by and large the most well paid of public employees is one of the craziest scams perpetuated on the American people.

        Cops gotta get free everything because they put their lives on the line (unlike say a landscaper) and that $150k paycheck, benefits, and lifetime pension doesn't stretch as much as it used to.

          It's statistically much safer to be a cop than a pizza delivery driver (or probably most jobs). Pays better, too.

            (or probably most jobs)

            Nah, cops still have one of the more dangerous jobs. They're just in the same ballpark as every other job that involves driving. Because being in traffic, not action hero fantasies, is the reason the job has any danger at all.

            I'm only bringing this up because I value accuracy. Death to America, as always.

              Definitely one of the top 25 most dangerous jobs in the US. But speaking of driving, it's more dangerous to be a truckdriver. Or a sanitation worker (also driving, and standing around near traffic, but unlike a cop car no one bothers to give a garbage truck a wide berth.)

              Incidentally, it's also more dangerous to be a landscaper.

      You're an idiot for thinking they're idiots and not just intentionally downplaying that the cops let them in.
