To quote the top comment: "Stop acting like demons, then." :shrug-outta-hecks:
When you swallow the lie that you're the good guy, only to realize that you're one of the bad guys.
Wart-faced hogs from hell vs lying dog-faced pony soldiers, coming this summer
It's because cops are basically a cult. They're constantly brainwashed into being told it's them vs. the rest of the world, so their only real social interactions are with other cops. And since that's a super toxic environment...
The real reason is them living in toxicity, they just externalize the blame into people not sucking up to them.
You see CEOs and politicians being demonized everyday.
They whine about this pretty often, too.
Hey feds monitoring us! Piece of life advice for you.
I believe the only good cop is an ex cop. If you kill yourself you're technically an ex-cop but then we can't talk about morality and your role in society. Just quit, I'll buy you a beer.
This. I know a couple of ex-cops. they joined thinking they'd do good because societal brainworms, and were pretty much immediately disillusioned. So after some flailing around they left.
It's not the military you can just quit anytime and I promise the Bachelor of Criminology they needed to get to join will be more useful elsewhere.
Ex-cops have a number of career paths (some of which aren't even that ghoulish!) open to them, too.
years ago i remember sitting in a car doing K with an ex-cop. this was so long ago that i was super lib and my best friend and roomate was going to criminology classes and i was personally considering doing it too or be an EMT. we were going to have our party drug phase and then straighten up.
so this guy talked me out of it. told me he did it to make a difference and serve his community. he never arrested anyone for drug possession, just tossed their shit and told them to never show their face in his area again. he didn't hang out with other cops and was too "serious" apparently. got skipped over for promotions, very obviously to newer officers that bought into the thin blue line shit.
it was very eye opening.
Pretty much every cop who believed in good for society or shit like that quit during the George Floyd protests.
Minneapolis lost 1/6th of it's police force to whining, attrition, and covid. As far as I know they haven't been able to fill those positions.
I am leftist and Jewish.
99.999% of the human race is actively trying to kill me because I'm not as "cool" as some spoiled nazi WASP. Every fucking day I am forced to read tweets on how funny it would be if I was tortured to death. I never did anything wrong in my life ever, but I am forced to live on a planet populated with bloodthirsty psychos that want to kill me because I am a good person, and therefore my suffering is funny.
And I still wake up every fucking day and go to work. If I can do that, I'm sure that cops who are part of the WASPs can take it too.
I would simply stop being a cop instead :vivian-shrug:
On one hand, I believe more needs to be done for suicide prevention. On the other hand...
Technically, once a cop is dead, they can no longer commit suicide. So in a way...
But think of the poor lil tickle babies who just wanted to do hate crimes with impunity and be worshiped for it by hicks.
They're sad. :kitty-cri:
they are feeling a nano-crumb of the woe they cast on to others. cops are truly the biggest babies in the galaxy
These are hands down the most based comments I've ever seen on a news article
This is a very sad story for me to read because I just love sucking off cops. I go around grindr looking for cops to suck off because I have a very specific preference and nothing else gets me off quite the same. I think that the media demonizing cops not only is making them kill themselves more (for which a lot of evidence was provided by this article, and it was very clear that they all killed themselves for this reason) but is also making them less active on grindr so it’s harder for me to find the still alive ones to suck off. Oh yeah also I’m pretty sure the last cop I sucked off thinks being gay is illegal because he threatened to kill me if anyone found out, I tried to tell him being gay is legal now but he shook his head, zipped up his pants, and walked away. I tried texting him to suck him off more but he seems to have blocked my number.
Good. Hope more police officers shoot their guns in the only constructive direction: into their own open fucking mouths.
