People in the US, especially not the police themselves, cannot seem to even fathom that a fundamental part of being a cop, in principle, is that your life must be treated as more expendable than the people you are supposed to protect.
Thank you! I've been evangilizing that for years with no luck. I find it morbidly hilarious society tells soldiers 'thank you for your sacrifice' as we send them off to die in order to kill other people, while the people at home who are "supposed to protect us" get to pull that Blue Lives Matter shit.
The very concept of police only works if you accept this idea. Without the idea that cops lives are more expendable than the people they’re supposed to protect, having cops doesn’t make any fucking sense.
It makes sense when you realize they exist to protect rich white guys with expensive suits :amerikkka-clap:
That's not what police have ever been for. They don't kill armed people to protect anyone. They kill shooters to enforce the state's monopoly on violence.
but they are, you see
just that the people they're protecting are different
Imagine thinking some fucking cop's life is worth more than 19 little kids and their teachers.
Imagine thinking some fucking cop's life is worth more than a pile of dog shit.

🥵🥵😤💨
I don't imagine either of those things

Let's all take a moment to remember the many brave people - street medics, community members, and others - who spent 2020 running in to all kinds of terrifying shit, often with nothing more than a first aid kit and a conviction that it was the right thing to do.
Anyone who interacts with the world outside of an office basically
This TX DPS guy is so fucking bad at this, lol
This is a banger of a follow-up to "yeah, some officers ran in to get their kids while we tasered and arrested parents."
Also, :the-pigs: be like:
:geordi-no: Protect
:geordi-no: ServeKinda weird how easily they shoot a POC when they think they're armed, but when it's a mass shooter now they're afraid to get shot.
Unfortunately, they really didn’t. The courts ruled that they have no duty to protect citizens, only what the government demands from them
I'm gonna sue every police department that uses "protect and serve" for false advertising.

This quote is just so dumb in general, but it's made more hilarious by the fact that this big-brained piggie used the term "rocket surgery."

Very brave and courageous of them to keep their cool hangout spot open!

A bit more spicy than beating up homeless guys when they try to take food out of a dumpster, isn't it? Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen.
