Reply to comment by I_AM_RVA in Parent tries to teach son positivity about police. He ends up with brain injury. by ludba2002

Absolutism is the enemy of truth. Words like these turn good cops bad. This isn’t to say your words have no truth but they’ll make more enemies than friends.

The truth is flies like vinegar more than honey.

There are, and can be, no good cops when the bad cops are allowed to get away with everything that they do. Rotten apples spoil the bunch and so on. Cops are so rarely punished for their wrongdoings that it's straight stupid for the public to trust them anymore.

It's a profession that's most attractive to bullies and the bullied, and SCOTUS has already said the role of police is to protect property rather than people. People should be afraid of this militarized and unionized police state we're in. The actual military is not allowed to unionize for a reason, and it's to stop the endless madness we see out of our unionized police. Go watch Serpico if you haven't already.

Do not ever talk to a cop. Do not ever interact with a cop unless absolutely necessary. Simple as that. You can't have faith that you've found yourself a good one when so many of them are bastards. Assuming ACAB is a public safety measure.

Ok what’s your phone number? Because there’s plenty of decent people on the force.

All the cops that don’t make the news because they aren’t terrible?

"If I didn't see it on the news, it didn't happen."

Do you even realize how brain-dead you sound?

Reddit posts don't turn good cops into bad cops. Unchecked power does.

If these words can turn a cop into an “enemy,” then he was a fucking enemy to begin with.

Oh, go on with your logic here! We have flaming pitchforks and we're gonna use them dammit!!!!! /s

I, too, avoid absolute words like 'always', never, etc. They are so seldom accurate and they paint a false picture. I'm sorry to see you got hammered for speaking truth to the masses.
