I re-read the original post. It was very off topic and deserved the “are you OK post”.

Why do you dislike the cops?

I'm not sure what's funnier, that you're so unmoored from reality that you need someone on reddit to explain to you the reasons why they believe the police are a problem or that you're straw-manning the original post and trying to pretend you aren't.

People have different reasons for liking or not liking things. Was curious what your reasons were.

The reality is some people don’t like the police. Some people do. Just because you don’t doesn’t mean everyone else should know why you don’t like them.

Personally I have no strong opinion either way. Have had a couple of bad experiences with cops. But mostly had good experiences. I generally feel most government workers are overpaid, so they don’t stand out to me for that. I think they have a tough job. But I 100% would be on board with changing qualified immunity.

I stand by my decision that the original post we are discussing was off topic and there was nothing wrong with posting a story about a new law being used.

Note in an earlier post (not part of this chain) I stated that It didn’t seem to be the best use of resources, but kept an open mind.

We're talking about the police here, not a fucking favorite flavor of ice cream my dude. TL;DR on the rest of that tho.

Honestly, very few people I know dislike the cops. Maybe it’s just where I get my ice cream, but everyone hating cops isn’t my reality.

No idea what TL DR means. I’ll look it up.

Edit: looked it up. ha ok. Fair enough.

So you don’t like the police because some other people don’t like it. It seems you think it’s trendy to not like them, so you don’t.

I’m going to end by saying, you seem like a follower. You should get a voice of your own.

if that's how you need to rationalize your inability to read basic human situations, sure, you tell yourself that.
