obviously the main factor was cops and paramedics being racist against Black people but Black Neurodivergent people have way higher murder rates.

I don't wish my initial comment to be interpreted wrong, people were rightly furious that a Black man was lynched.

I disagree with your initial statement that the lynchers were brought to justice as 2 of them escaped conviction

The richest undeveloped country in the world.

Well yeah I wouldn't even expect it in every 3rd world country.

Ahh thanks. I'd heard of it before Elon, but never really knew what it was used for.

Unfortunately, the police complex is coopting a lot of stuff it has no business coopting.

I've had cops (and firefighters, for that matter) help me control aggressive patients until we could get them restrained or medicated so I didn't get my ass beat. I've taken over from cops when they determine that it's a medical call rather than a legal concern. Chemically sedating people for the cops, though? That should have never been happening, and IIRC it was official FD policy in Aurora.

all the paramedics that don't wear respirators for COVID are cops

Sometimes. Paramedics deal with a lot of people who react to life saving stuff with violence. Sometimes this is because the person is afraid and in fight mode, sometimes it's drugs sometimes it's because they face consequences after they get better. Anytime you mix violence with other stressors, low pay, overtime, threats of legal or financial censure for not dealing being proactive with violence when you have to prioritize something else more than running away, PTSD from bad experiences... Even good people get hard hearted.

The same pressures that turn cops into monsters are present in paramedic work, it's just there's different priorities. The same initiatives that change laws to be more health focused and the movement to defund and demilliterize cops in favour of using those resources to provide communities with additional compassionate supports and services for wider multitude of different responses also benefit paramedics. The problem with cops isn't always that they exist. If someone is trying to murder someone then it is kind of nice to have someone you can call - it's what the design of the system turns people into and how they become tools of oppression and an escalating force of violence. To not become a jaded paramedic willing to solve problems "the easy way" takes sustained willpower that some systems make into a superhuman feat.

Plenty of them aren't. Some are just jaded from overwork and low pay. Others couldn't hack it as cops or firefighters and still need something to feel big about, and are pigs.
