All cops are bastards and that’s just the way things are.

The fact that they’re gay, trans, people of colour, women or have a working class background doesn’t excuse them for deliberately choosing to be actual perpetrators of violence against oppressed groups.

a police man died in my local area two years ago. my friends dad. she now has no father. she was 14. he died because he was saving people from a collapsing bridge after masses of floods.

you are an awful fucking person and i sincerely hope you are in a situation that requires the police to save you one day, because then you will realise their worth. what will you do, yell ‘all cops are bastards!’ and be stuck in whatever situation you are in?

i’m sorry there is racism. i’m sorry police are racist sometimes. i feel sorry for you, leading such a sad and pathetic life that you take the minority’s actions as the majority’s action because you desperately need someone to attack all the time.

police are important, kind members of society who give up their time to protect you everyday.

you are the bastards. fuck off.

hey op. you must be a real idiot if you really think that all cops are evil and corrupt. you can’t possibly think that each and every cop on earth have discriminated against minorities. cops aren’t a goddamn monolith, pal. they’re not clones of each other. they don’t all think the same.

choosing to work in the police force doesn’t automatically mean you have bad intentions. most cops want to be cops so that they can help others, so that they can stop crime, so that they can help keep society from tearing apart at the seams.

if all cops suddenly died or disappeared, what do you think would happen?

i know what would happen. and i think deep down you know, too.

it would be an absolute fucking chaos.

society would collapse. people would riot in the streets. no laws. nobody to stop them.

murder. rape. fights. speeding. robberies. of course these things happen every day, but it would increase greatly in a scenario like this.

and would racism stop? no.

would homophobia stop? no.

would transphobia stop? no.

would sexism stop? no.

it would not stop. everything would just get more frequent and more chaotic! if every single cop died or disappeared without warning, society would collapse in just a few days or less. it would probably end with the government getting involved and having to take down most of the rioters.

the point is that we need cops. you can deny it all you’d like, but they are a very, very important part of society. they are the ones who risk their lives in the name of the law every day. who are just trying to do their jobs.

and yes, there are cops who use their position to discriminate against and hurt and arrest and possibly kill innocent people. every group has its bad individuals. but that doesn’t mean that all cops do that! most cops are good, respectable people who are worthy of respect!

and cops are not only cops. they are fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, someone’s cousin, someone’s grandparent, someone’s aunt or uncle, someone’s grandkids, someone’s lover, someone’s best friend. they may be someone’s hero or role model.

many cops save lives every day, and some even lose their own lives in the process.

like the person above’s friend’s father. he sounds like a true hero, by the way. he didn’t deserve to die. i have all respect for him. may he rest in peace.

anyways, this got much longer than expected, but i’m just real sick and tired of seeing people like you paint a whole group as evil based around their job. not all fucking cops abuse their power. please get that into your head soon. please think.

the amount of people who think the solution to police brutality is actual fucking anarchy is astounding to me. please, OP, provide us with one single source of an anarchist society leading to less violent crime. i’ll wait.
