It’s a typo I meant to write public service but I have been responding so much I can’t even find the comment to edit it.

Cool let’s not have cops

That’s on the system not the individual officer.

I 100% agree I have met and delt with so many really shitty cops in my own time. Then factor in the 1% that are real monsters and I understand the way people feel. I train Jiu Jitsu with some amazing cops that are really trying to be better for their community and themselves. I am just defensive after reading all the comments.

In a city where you can’t park your car in the street without the window being smashed or have a business without having homeless harass your customers I thought that you might want to be nice to the cops but I guess I am wrong.

Bring on the down votes but my opinion is this will only make things worse. I think people should judge the police on a officer to officer basis. I work in public service and the majority of cops are really decent people who are trying to help. There are always bad seeds. Even if a cop is on a power trip if you ask them they will help you.

In my opinion the biggest problem w the police isn’t the officers it’s the training and culture. They have their hands tied w ridiculous use of force policies and almost no training. But bring on the hate and call me a fascist.

Edit: biblical service to public service. Jesus has no place in these streets.

I am more concerned about how long your grass is.

Super low bar… There has never been a president in my lifetime that has been on the side of the people of the United States. Biden says he is pro union but time and again backs management over labor. Obviously he is the lesser of two evils but it’s so broken that we keep getting these Boomers again and again that get money from billionaires while the middle class gets crushed.

For me Brazilian jiu Jitsu got me in great shape and the grind of it helped me get into hard workouts too. I don’t enjoy lifting or doing cardio but I love the after reward. Jiu jitsu definitely helped me know I could push past what I thought was a limit.

It sure would but then what will happen to all their billionaire friends? We can’t expect them to have only one yacht! The real kick in the dick was they made the FD go on it but management and town hall staff got to keep the good health plan.

My town changed our insurance from a decent PPO to a HSA and didn’t grandfather in the current membership. So everyone eligible to retire retired so they can keep their PPO. We had over 15 people leave. It was great for Overtime not great for personal life. I am a firefighter.
