Since cops have no duty to protect, every single time you see a cop protecting a nazi, it's because that cop chose to protect that nazi.

My first thought was "well there's a slightly less chance they'll be aggressive if you stroke their ego" and hoo boy does that say a lot about American policing.

[-] JossyBop@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

America is fucking weird man. Why would you thank cops for their service?

[-] SufniDroid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They thank members of the armed forces (soldiers, sailors, aviators etc.) for their service and most people extend these for the police force as well.

[-] Cevilia 5 points 1 year ago

Why? (For both parts of that statement)

[-] Belgdore@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Because they have theoretically dangerous jobs, that Americans indoctrination teaches are necessary for the American way of life.

It's so stupid too. It's not like they were drafted. They signed up for it willingly. They're being compensated for it too, so it's not like they're volunteers either.

[-] SufniDroid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Because soldiers serve the country they are a citizen of.

[-] JossyBop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's still fucking weird.

Sounds like we should be even more upset with the courts/judges🤔

[-] Black_Sanic@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

While I agree they share their weight of the issue, the police unions who push for this always seem to go mostly unnoticed

[-] JiraiyaIsNoLyah@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

This is also true

[-] a8s7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Very good point. If you have a parent that won't correct a misbehaving kid, is it the kids fault that they're a pos?

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

It doesn't help that police have their own "policies" that are usually misaligned with the actual law, which in turn cause them to ignore a lot of people's civil rights.

The first "A" in ACAB stands for ALL.

Yes even that one cop. Yes, even your uncle.

There can be no good cops while they allow bad cops to exist.

If you ever get detained by cops:

  1. "I am exercising my right to remain silent."

  2. "I am exercising my right to speak with a lawyer."

  3. SHUT UP (Don't say shut up. Actually shut up)

Always remember:

You can never talk yourself OUT of trouble. You can only talk yourself INTO trouble!

They are however, required to protect corporations from you.
