Police will always have bad apples. Just like military. There is a certain level of crazy that it takes to put your life on the line daily. But thats also the same gusta that makes the majority heros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I believe the phrase is "One bad apple spoils nothing else all the other apples are fine." Police work isn't that dangerous. It's far more dangerous to be a garbage man. And I'm not saying they're all bad, but the vast majority, in my experience, seem to at least be willing to commit perjury on the reg. Which is kind of a felony, so. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay - - How many garbage men get punched in the face? The reason police officers have a lower fatality rate is they have guns and are trained to defend themselves. Im not advocating killing people. But self defense is real. Again, not advocating murder. The George Floyd situation is an atrocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no problem with charging police officers who assault unarmed protesters? Or charging cops with destruction of evidence when they turn off their body cams? You're for all of that, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Being a pizza delivery person is one of the most dangerous jobs in America. Where are their "thank you for your service" genuflecting? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. I think cops should be held to a higher standard than regular joes. All good cops should feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh. That's strange. It seems that all the police unions are actively fighting against those reforms. Huh? Why would the unions go to bat for police who commit assaults and murders in court? It's almost like they're protecting those very few bad apples and opposing reforms that would only harm said bad apples. Boy, gosh. Isn't that strange? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you would still agree that if certain police are opposed to those policies--ones you agreed are good ideas--then they're not good cops, right?

I’m going to go out an on limb and guess that what you mean when you say “many” or “taking a stand” aren’t the same as what I’m talking about Sources though?
