Just curious why? I mean as someone with a long criminal history I find talking to cops when I’m not doing something wrong is actually pleasant (about 80% of the time, just like the public not everyone is friendly).

Most of their interactions are negative with the public by nature of the job, so when they have a chance to engage with the community most are actually excited to do so

I'm going with "Don't poke the bear"... having as little interaction as possible with something which could be dangerous lowers the chances of a potential negative outcome....

Asking a random question? Jeez people wonder why we have such bad police relations. Bro I have a long criminal history, my friend black and he talks to cops all time. You can ask a fucking question, especially if you are genuine and not acting mean. I give it a zero percent chance Of turning bad lol. I mean unless you have warrants or something

I can't believe you went the "I have a black friend" route. Please understand that one person's experience doesn't mean it's everyone's experience.

Yeah unfortunately this isn't because of anything the public did, if the police hadn't lost trust of the citizens they were sworn to protect and serve, then things would be all hunky dory, but nobody is going to talk to a unionized gang unless absolutely necessary.

I wonder if you recognize your own hypocrisy? Like group all of any group of people is bigotry and breeds hate.

You and your attitude literally make the situation worse. You are for reform, talk about the bad cops, training..etc

But you are literally part of the problem. Spreading the divide and hate. In my mind you are just as bad as a racist or sexist.

It doesn’t matter people don’t take the job to be racist or this or that. People aren’t born immigrants either but you can still be bigoted against immigrants.

Anytime you generalize a massive group of people and all bring them down to their lowest common form you’re being a bigot

Lol keep telling yourself that. I hate the violent racists that use our tax money to terrorize people but you equate that to bigotry

Drew_P_Nuts t1_iyeopww wrote

Yeah because you’re calling them all violent racist. That’s like saying all Democrats are part of antifa we’re all Republicans are racist, we’re all Muslims are terrorists. You don’t get to generalize large groups.

You can hate the 1% but hating all cops even the great ones and the hero’s makes you a shitty person.

bakrTheMan t1_iyesc0i wrote

Its not like saying all muslims are terrorists because islam is a religion and policing in america is a job that requires you to carry out racialized violence on the poorest people in society. Its not a fucking moral judgement genius

Uh oh... you implied cops are people.

Looks like this is the other way around. Try to converse with Boston redditors about cops and the redditors attack.

Drew_P_Nuts t1_iyepx47 wrote

I’m just amazed that people don’t see the irony, of hating stereotypes and generalizing all Muslims as terrorists, all Black people as criminals, or Mexicans as illegals, but for some reason it’s OK to generalize all cops as racist murderers.

Super weird hypocrisy. Talk about making the situation worse not better

"Cop" is not an immutable trait.

It is a choice they made - and a poor one at that.

Drew_P_Nuts t1_iyerb05 wrote

Immigration is a choice. and lots of people think their jobs are traits. Ask a doctor.

You keep moving the goalposts that way you don’t feel guilty generalizing and grouping all cops as shitty people because you hate racists and you hate sexist but you fail to recognize you’re just as bad as them.

But just like when a KKK meets a really nice black person they change their minds look up (Daryl Davis) you would feel the same way when a cops helps you after an accident, stops a domestic assault or saves a friends life.

It’s sad you have suck hate. Do you have more in common with the Nazis than you realize.

The idea that cops and doctors are both egomaniacs who conflate their job with their personhood is not shocking.

Ooh wait, if we're going with this analogy of doctors and cops, can we please mandate cops get malpractice insurance so the taxpayer can stop paying for the mistakes they're criminally immune from being charged for? I'd love that.

VaeVictoria t1_iyevbj8 wrote

Pft. What a load. I mean a false equivalence if I've ever heard one.

Immigrants generally don't cause harm to society the way cops do. There's something driving them to get here,and it's usually poverty or violence. I don't fault them for that.

I also don't hate cops enough to wish death on them the way nazis (many of which are cops as they've inflitrated our police departments) wish death on me for being trans.

I've never been "helped" by a cop. Never in my 40 years on this earth. Every interaction has been shit. They're bullying, self-serving authoritarians who relish the idea of having power over others. That's why they take that job.

...Have you ever seen the training they go through? Do you know how they talk about civilians in their union meetings, how they're trained to view us? They're slave-retrievers-turned-occupying-force. They think they're in a war with the very communities they claim to protect.

Your response is ridiculous.

"Cop" is not an inherent trait, it's a pattern of behavior and a set of choices.
