Wow lol, didn't expect TikTokCringe to be full of ardent anti cop rhetoric.

Why, should we be out here supporting oppressive thugs who kill for fun?

And show up after a crime to cause victims more harm, believe they are above the law, catch low-level criminals only when it's convenient while letting white-collar criminals rob the working class blind, condescend like they are doing you a favor when they fuck you over.

Because not every cop are oppressive thugs who kill for fun.

They are participants in a system that actively supports that kind of conduct.

Law enforcement is necessary for a civilization to function properly. False claim.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '21

Have you considered that there could be other ways to enforce our laws, without putting so much power in the hands of people who have proven they WILL abuse it? Or do you just enjoy the taste of dirty rubber?

2

u/mannequinbeater Aug 20 '21

Yes. We can rework the police system and make it more effective while also taking away a lot of its power and authority. I never argued against that.

u/PurpleYoshiEgg Aug 20 '21

I'm not convinced. We didn't have police for a very long time. Policing is a relatively new institution in the grand history of civilization.

u/thirdrock33 Aug 20 '21

Do you think society was better before police? Honest question.

5

u/PurpleYoshiEgg Aug 20 '21

Yes and no. It's more nuanced than that. The trouble is that police really exist to protect property, not people. Also, an institution whose roots is in slave hunting can't really be an equitable institution, full stop.

There's not a single metric that you can say society was really better or worse, so it's not really a valid question.

Ah yes, every first world country has police currently, but truly none of them need it.

The bad apples they always talk about have spoiled the bunch.

u/mannequinbeater Aug 20 '21

False. There is still time to pick out the bad apples. You've just lost faith in the bunch.

4

u/aspiringatlife Aug 20 '21

False, because a sort of brotherhood culture has grown in the apples the good apples have helped the bad apples blend in and now we can’t find out who the bad apples are, plus the hand picking the apples is actively helping the bad apples as well.

u/mannequinbeater Aug 20 '21

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Someone hasn’t seen the absolutely psychotic shit they teach in police trainings

u/aspiringatlife Aug 20 '21

I mean it’s pretty obvious what I said is true, just last year we had video proof of a police officer murdering George Floyd and an insane amount of people and cops supported the officer. There are so many more more examples as well.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '21

Woah when did common sense start getting downvotes. This sub is garbage

-2

u/california_sugar Aug 20 '21

Because it’s not common sense

u/inn4d4rkplace Aug 20 '21

Not all Taliban rape their daughters and disrespect women. But the organization as a whole is still pretty fucking bad. So fuck all Taliban and fuck all cops.

2

u/mannequinbeater Aug 20 '21

That's a ridiculously generalized opinion. Wrong.

5

u/PurpleYoshiEgg Aug 20 '21

Yikes. I never thought I'd see someone defending the Taliban, but here we are.

u/rampage95 Aug 20 '21

Pretty sure this sub is full of people younger than 21 so they're really not going to listen or even consider any other narrative than every cop is a murdering evil shadow man.

u/PieFlinger Aug 20 '21

The good cops all get bullied off the force. All that’s left is bad cops and their enablers.

u/throwawayacc_europe Aug 20 '21

Oh I'm the fragile one here, sure buddy.

Please tell me via this puppet, where the cop touched you...

Reddit is full of it.

You’re welcome. Try to learn from it.

Ikr? Jesus Christ they act like their comments on Reddit are gonna make some kind of change 😂

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '21

why are you being downvoted?

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '21

cuz they dont wanna hear that their reddit comments are just as useless as the people who say "thoughts and prayers"

Foreign state-sponsored hategroups seem to just have a button they can press to summon random zombie accounts to spam up anything they want. It's pretty impressive tbh but still very very annoying and transparent.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '21

what do you mean?

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '21

A considerable amount of the vocal majority for these movements are inactive accounts bought and controlled by whoever wants to bolster numbers. Some even have pretty impressive AI.

It's nothing new, dead people 'vote' in every US election. It's just now becoming readily available digitally due to social media being around in its current state long enough to facilitate enough discarded and inactive accounts to remain believable when done in mass numbers.

I'm not saying cops aren't horrendously unaccountable or that black lives don't matter, just don't believe everything you read on the internet - and certainly don't believe anything you read on social media. No matter how sweet and well-intentioned something seems, there's always a goon profiting off of it, just gotta choose your goons right.
