It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.

No way I could be a cop. If I was standing in line with those guys and saw my coworker shoot a girl close range I'd punch him in the face. This is what people mean when they say ACAB. There's no way a decent person can see a woman get shot like that and not want to help.

I could never date a cop either. Imagine the type of harm and harassment they could unleash on you if you broke up with them.

I wouldn’t even be friends with a cop.

I'm polyamorous. I won't even date someone who dates cops.

I've known two people that were briefly cops. They got out around one to two years doing it. That's about how long you can be a cop before the other cops expect you to mutually get your hands dirty.

I absolutely won't be friends with one. They have a dangerous mentality of escalating non-violent situations into violent ones, and they'll never admit when they are wrong. Not the type of people I would ever want to associate with.

You are right, no way you could be a cop.

I could, I'm morally dubious enough to ignore it. Then hand out coffee spiked with arsenic.
