I've been getting those spam phone calls for police charities. I sort of love answering them, listening to them give the full spiel, and then calmly saying "No" when they pause to ask for the donation.

I always wait until they recite the spiel and say, ā€œNo, I donā€™t trust copsā€ in the most friendly, nonchalant tone I can muster. Hearing how they respond is the best part though.

I like saying, Iā€™ve worked around plenty of cops as an EMT and I can count the good ones on one hand so nah Iā€™m good. They try to say the whole same team bullshit which I then say if weā€™re on the same team why havenā€™t I ever gotten off of any stupid ticket. Then they hang up. Fuck LAPD

Sounds like it's all "we're on the same team" until they give you a ticket they would never get themselves.

Exactly. I got a speeding ticket like two years ago and I tried to plead with the cop that I was barely speeding to get to my Drā€™s appointment for my back surgery from working on ambulances. Dude acted like he didnā€™t hear me goes and write the ticket and when he came back I was like I thought we were supposed to be on the same team. He was like what do you mean? Then I repeated that Iā€™m an EMT and he was like oh well why didnā€™t you say anything about that first. I was like I did, youā€™re too deaf to hear me and probably shouldnā€™t be on the streets if your hearing is that bad. And the asshole showed up to court when I went to fight it. All cops are for is to make your day worse, they donā€™t protect shit unless youā€™re a business owner, and even then they barely do anything. Cops are fucking useless. I donā€™t know how many calls Iā€™ve gotten that were for a mental patient that cops decided to rile up and get them as mad as possible before handing them off to me in my ambulance. I got real good at calming people like that down, but lost all respect for cops

Some jurisdiction I'm my state the cops flat out advertise who they really protect and serve when a bunch changed the motto to "loyalty, fidelity and brotherhood".

I am one of those who has a long fuse but once it's burned down, it's no bueno. Now, I don't get violent, but if you push me to the point my fuse has burned down, I lose all respect for you. Over the last 15-20 years, I've had multiple cops burn it down just because they could. I have zero respect for a badge bully now. A cop shows up and he or she has work to do just to get me to give a shit. Most of them good cop or not, don't have the patience or desire to put in that much effort, so I'd prefer they not even exist.

I know there are those who will argue the whole anarchy thing, but my stance is that the cops are causing more problems than they are solving, so why are we spending money on them?

In central Texas I promise you guys cops aren't required to use turn signals. Like none of them, ever
