if i were a cop...

I'm not policing shit without a sidearm! IDGAF

Then If you throw me into the riots, I'm going to need a little more firepower. FACTS

ACAB my ass! They project their bullshit upon others and can't smell their own shit. If only one percent are killing people of ALL colors, then you can't label them all bad.

I bet that hurts huh?

I don't believe a word of this.

The flip side is you need to have periodic psych exams for all officers involved with a death or six months on the street! Weed out the crazy fucks!

That thin blue line is bullshit also!

I've had police help me out before. Broke down on the side of the road and they pulled up and drove me to the service station to get a tire. One time it was gas. Not all are bad but I ran into those ones also.

Me Too!

Good and bad on all sides!

how did you did you get this from my OP?

i said that if i were a cop and started seeing fellow cops getting charged with a crime for protecting themselvess, i would probably quit.

and, it seems that that's exactly what's starting to happen in atlanta.

because you're a fucking moran.

hppe all is ok now?

THIS

While i agree with you OP...he's absolutely correct. There's no law that states that he has to "serve and protect"...that's just an "oath" that they take. For example, the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting cop that was initially fired for neglecting his duties and not taking action against the shooter will be given his job back and full pension reinstated.

Just as in the US, there are good and bad police officers in the UK.

But, as in the US, when the going gets rough the good ones close ranks with the bad. So nothing is ever sorted about the bad guys and the overall bullyboy culture.

IMHO, there needs to be a complete overhaul of what policing is.

They need to have some sort of very explicit charter of what they do and what we, the taxpayer can expect from them.

They also need to put together a list of what they expect from us. Because too many people these days don't understand right from wrong, good behaviour from bad.

Police these days are very different from how they were 30years ago. Then they did serve the public. Now they seem like they own the streets, and are over-militarised, over-politicised.

I don't care if you don't believe it. My dad had a doctors appointment on a Thursday. I called them on the Friday and there was no answer at home. They have a cell but never take it with them. By late Friday evening I got scared that they didn't make it home on Thursday...I ended up being right. My mom missed a turn driving home and they got lost. They spent the night in their car. They were found a little after midnight on the Friday because my mom was basically driving around in circles because she had no clue where they were; someone in the neighbourhood where they were called the police because they thought it was strange...and that it was helped them find my parents so quickly.

My mom was completely disoriented. Because they didn't use good problem solving skills...like calling me for help or staying in a hotel instead of their car...the doctors at the hospital had to report her to the Ministry of Transportation. She had her licence suspended.

It's all true, asshole. Worst night of my life and the police helped me through it.

Yes, they were found safe but it was a hellish start to the year.

Shooting people in the back is not protecting yourself

in the uk it is a common practice for law enforcement to kidnap and anally molest vulnerable people in rainbow painted vehicles.

maybe you should better familiarize yourself with what actually happened before you open your shit flavored pie hole.
