    Okay but when i’m in a toxic situation at work I can’t shoot someone and get away without consequences lol.

    When police show up to a scene, ordinary citizens have no power over them whatsoever. The police have the upper hand, every single time. Whereas if I get into an argument with a co-worker, client, or shopper I could be fired.

    The reason workplaces are toxic are because employees are powerless. Police can literally murder people anytime they want and get away with it.

      Sure, and if you’re the sort of person that needs everything to be sorted into neat black or white bins, maybe that’s relevant.

      The fact that getting screamed at and spit on is unpleasant remains, though.

        Police officers aren’t regularly screamed at or spit on. Where are you getting your information from? Are you just making it up?

          Yes, they are. You think whatever asshole doing a domestic is above it? They manufacture spit hoods because that’s a regular issue.

          I literally witnessed an arrest like this myself within the past month or so.

            So your evidence is… a single witness event? And you think that means it happens with regularity? I’m sorry but something isn’t adding up. : /

              And the entire industry of manufacturing spit hoods, and furnishing prisons with things they won’t stab each other with, and various other grim things. And common knowledge. And those shitty live cop shows that used to be on. And common sense that criminals aren’t nice.

              It’s also not the first such thing I’ve personally seen, and probably won’t be the last. You see, I’m not rich like typical Lemmings, and (not to be a dick about it) honestly probably you.

                “And common knowledge”.

                You haven’t provided any real evidence that what you say is true so I’m going to chalk this up to adolescent infatuation.

                Last thought before I go. Maybe if cops weren’t such horrible human beings they wouldn’t be hated by people?

                Have a day. 🫱

                  Nah, people will hate over the dumbest, tiniest things. I’m a Jew, Germans are and were perfectly nice people. You probably hate me right now, and I haven’t done anything. At the other end, terrible people have done wonderful things.

                  I know you’re going to forget this exchange ever happened, but if I could pick a takeaway, it actually wouldn’t have anything to do with the police. (Hey, I don’t like them either)
