I'd like an answer, Facefuck. What other profession gives you the training and equipment to kill or hurt other human beings with no reprucussions?
Nothing I've said is as asinine as "all cops are bastards". People make it sound like "cops" aren't even people, they're some completely separate breed or some shit. Yes, there are some fucking shitty *people* who become police, but that doesn't mean there aren't any decent people who do their job the way they're supposed too. But then again, the media doesn't ever cover that stuff/those police. Why would they? No one cares if you do your job properly, they only care about you if you're an asshole.
The media doesnt cover it because cops doing their job correctly doesnt kill innocent people.
So what would you have happen to make things better? Let criminals do as they please? Let vigilantes police the public? Let people police themselves?
I don't know about where you live, but in my experience all cops do is write tickets for speeders and harass people. Every legit reason I've ever called them for has ended up for nothing. I know full well they don't give a fuck about recovering any of the shit I've had stolen. The meth heads in my neighborhood run free. Even the night I got arrested, I was the only one and that was cuz I had the balls to talk back to one for being a prick to me. If anything, I think we are being fooled into thinking we need police. They're def not there to serve and protect us anymore. They're trained by homeland security to treat us like the enemy. So they are the enemy to me now. 100%
Police work is often lionized by jurists and scholars who claim to employ "textualist" and "originalist" methods of constitutional interpretation. Yet professional police were unknown to the United States in 1789, and first appeared in America almost a half-century afterthe Constitution's ratification. The Framers contemplated law enforcement as the duty of mostly private citizens, along with a few constables and sheriffs who could be called upon when necessary. This article marshals extensive historical and legal evidence to show that modern policing is in many ways inconsistent with the original intent of America's founding documents. The author argues that the growth of modern policing has substantially empowered the state in a way the Framers would regard as abhorrent to their foremost principles."
