There certainly exist police that just want to be tough guys and beat people up. But there’s plenty officers not like that.
You detract from your other points by taking such a black and white stance.
"Cop" isn't just a job. It's a social contract amongst the police and prosecutorial apparatus.
There are no police for the police. Police rape and murder with impunity. Did you know that cops beat their domestic partners at a rate 5x greater than the general population? Fully 40% of cops are wife beaters.
They can do whatever they want, and taxpayers end up paying the civil suit settlements that follow.
This isn't an issue with some criminal minority. Everyone who wears the uniform is either a criminal directly, or is actively engaged in the criminal conspiracy to hide evidence of the group's criminal activities. The ones that don't play ball are forced out.
Here's one from yesterday: they all somehow had their body cameras off when they murdered another black guy. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/867281529/louisville-police-c...
If people didn't stop being willfully blind when it came out that Chicago PD has a whole dedicated black site for kidnapping and torturing people prior to trial, they probably won't ever be.
There are no good career cops. The entire concept is rotten to its core, which was created and established specifically to address the risk of property damage by the poor and escaped slaves.
The first letter of ACAB is by far the most important one.
> There are no good career cops
I’ve watched a few videos of cops kneeling with protestors or cops laying down guns and walking with them. Are those bad cops?
When you say “there are no good career cops” that means there doesn’t exist one good career cop. It’s a ludicrous thing to say.
Or are you saying that there’s hundreds of videos of piece of trash cops and you’re projecting that to all cops?
So officers working side by side with abusive officers are absolutely complicit.
