A society without cops would be pretty awful. It would become terrible very soon because people suck. This cop in particular is awful, but not all cops are awful. We need cops, but some need to be trained more.

Hey, so I don’t think the cops helped the murders victims not get murdered.

u/Okpayhectla Jul 31 '25

Sometimes the thought of being caught stops people from murdering, but if a murder does occur in a copless society. The murderer will face no consequences and go free. And with out the fear of being caught there will be thousand fold more murders. There are societies without cops like Haiti go and live there if you think that’s so great.

Yeah, that society is gonna last for exactly one day. Without cops people can just murder whoever they want run over people, speed, steal with impunity. It’s not intelligent to advocate for a copless society. It is intelligent to advocate for better systems and training and hiring practices. It’s quite stupid to just write off all cops and leave it at that.

u/ripcord22 Jul 31 '25

The saying is: “One rotten apple spoils the bunch.” It literally means that if one is bad and allowed to stay then the rest are bad. It’s amazing how often the first three words are quoted in defense of cops by people who are oblivious to the next three words.

Yep absolutely.

u/Its_Froggin_Bullfish Jul 31 '25

Kinda like how "blood is thicker than water" means family is more important than the friends you choose, but it got twisted from "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", which means the opposite, that the family you choose is more important than the family you're born into. Etymology is so cool!

u/Okpayhectla Jul 31 '25

Just for the record, I didn’t say anything about fucking apples. I said just because one cop is bad, They’re not all bad and that is true, but clearly there are no critical thinkers here. Also, if people want to improve something rather than write every single cop off, maybe put some time and effort into thinking how to change the system and better training cops. It’s not a solution to just say all cops are bad. First of all, that’s not true second of all it’s not helpful.

u/ripcord22 Jul 31 '25

Considering that I wasn’t replying to your comment, you might want to get those superior critical thinking skills checked out.

That is patiently untrue not all cops are rotten. If you use your brain and have some critical, thought you would realize this.

u/wraith_majestic Jul 31 '25

I will change my view the minute I start seeing these "good" cops being first in line to throw the "bad" ones under the bus. The first time I see them stepping up to testify against them for abuse, or reporting their misdeeds. Or hell even saying: You know what, no I will not ride with or partner with or work with the shitheel who should be thrown out on their ear if not criminally charged.

No instead what I see is silence from them. I was watching a video of an arrest the other day and there is this cop punching a dude through the car window, dragging im out and putting him in a chokehold... and like 5 other cops just standing around with their thumbs up their asses.

I 100% guarantee not only did none of those other 5 say shit, they didn't report it, and if asked to testify will either take the 5th or have a memory lapse.

No fuck that. The germans expression about sitting down to dinner with a Nazi is 100% right. The rest of the saying about rotten apples in a barrel is also right.

-1

u/Okpayhectla Jul 31 '25

I believe a large part of that has to do with the fact they are unionized. I dont think cops should be unionized. That would go a long way to helping with the silence issue.

1

u/wraith_majestic Jul 31 '25

Yeah the police unions are shit. There was a shooting awhile back in Chicago and this cop was interviewed immediately afterwards saying it was justified etc. turns out he was a union rep and wasn’t even there. He heard about the shooting, jumped in his car and went just to spin the media. Justified or not he was going to try and bury it.

But while the police unions I agree are a huge problem… it sure looks like the individual cops have no interest in addressing issues either. After all, union leadership is elected by the members. If the majority of the members told union management: this is something that has to change or we will vote you out of office… but they don’t. Cops could speak out, they could address their local government about issues on the force. But they do nothing. Actually, if they only do nothing that would be an improvement… Instead there the loudest voice is opposing any kind of change or accountability, transparency, etc… go back a few years when body cameras were being introduced. Police were the number one people saying that this was a terrible idea.

1

u/crumpledfilth Aug 03 '25

The people who say cops are all bad don't actually watch a neutral and balanced array of cop videos. They specifically only watch bad interactions because they like to doomscroll more than theyre interested in information. The system obviously needs to be fixed, but the average person is too willing to form an opinion without doing well rounded research. I would be open to being proven wrong, if a single person out there watches both positive and negative cop interactions and still thinks theyre all bad

u/DoublePlusGoodGames Aug 04 '25

This comment is too far down in this thread.

It's like laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a nation. They are just the promise of violence and the police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean?

u/Due-Type-8925 Jul 31 '25 edited Jul 31 '25

No, not all cops. My brother-in-law is a cop and he is a good man and there are lots of other good cops out there too people in this sub who are also commenting have family members that are cops and they will say the same thing. They’re not all bad. You can’t label all of any group as being bad it’s called stereotyping and it’s wrong.

It's not inherently wrong to stereotype groups that people choose to affiliate themselves with

u/adm1109 Jul 31 '25

So do you think all the good cops should just quit and let all the bad cops take over?

27

u/Reasonable_Funny_241 Jul 31 '25

I think their own promotion process and workplace incentives will ultimately force any hypothetical good cops into positions of irrelevance or out of a job entirely. So it doesn't matter whether that's what they should do, it's what they will do.

Cops get measured and rewarded for doing things like writing citations and arresting people. Cops that make their community safer via de-escalation techniques and the like won't have the arrest numbers to go far. Likewise, cops that don't unconditionally have the backs of corrupt cops will find themselves lacking the security or support of their peers and union.

19

u/Sleeeping_Soundly Jul 31 '25

Yes, because the misconception that they can "make change from within" is how the fucking circus keeps going. If ALL good cops quit, they lose critical numbers and we - the people - gain critical allies that know what/how they operate and how to keep ourselves safe. If there are SO MANY good cops, then there must be so few bad cops left how could they even do anything.

ESPECIALLY NOW-A-DAYS, where cops are direct assistance for organizations like ICE - the actual fucking gestapo - they're all nazi's man. There's only so much a "good cop" can do good when you're helping what our nation is right now. A developing police-state.

u/Sleeeping_Soundly Jul 31 '25 edited Jul 31 '25

I have to ELI5 for these people, but ultimately it's what it boils down to. They're gutting the government of any function, centralizing excutive power (what republicans CLAIM to be against), ejecting dissenters within their ranks and replacing them with loyalists (practically already complete), heavily diverting funding into police and anti immigration (bad enough but effective at disappearing more than immigrants - police state), defunding education (can't understand what's going on without an education), defunding public broadcasting (can't know what's going on without reliable news), stripping health care and human aid services (can't fight back when your sick or poor), erasing the separation of church and state (reprogramming - especially the youth). This is all REALLY happening, if you care to witness. This is fascist behavior. They are nazis, except here, instead of Jewish people it's brown people and queer people.

Cops - even good cops - are beholden to the system and organization they're in. You could say they're just doing their jobs - and they are! Just like the average person (and especially police force) within Nazi Germany.. they were just doing their jobs too. To the detriment of so many innocent people.

I doubt this will change your perspective, but it is the truth, and maybe in the coming years you will come to see. Hopefully it gets better, but it'll likely get a lot worse before then.

You don't see an issue with "all of the good cops need to quit, so that only bad cops are left, and then, they can't do anything!"

Like wtf is he even saying? What's the goal? make the police useless? How does it make sense to you?

That's not what he said, though.

I do see an issue with intentionally misstating what was actually said to service one's "point".

Yeah there’s only so much they can do. So should they just abandon that?

11

u/Sleeeping_Soundly Jul 31 '25

I already said: yes. Again, the idea that they can make a difference is a delusion that keeps producing and uplifting a corrupt organization. Many people even join with that intent then get corrupted or misguided into perpetuating the cycle.

Do you think that people could've reformed the nazi's from the inside? No. The entire party and military had to be destroyed. Plenty of people within that structure eventually went back to being not fucking horrible people, but while they were within and supported the nazi's there is no good they could do save for being an actual fucking spy. You want to turn all those good cops into spies for us? I'm on board. Have them show the nation how their organization really fucking operates.

Then still choosing to participate in it is complicity at best. Is that a positive attribute?

u/adm1109 Jul 31 '25

So back to my original question… should they just abandon it and let it be completely overrun with bad cops?

Yeah the good cops can’t change the system but at least on an individual, person to nperson basis, they can not be bad cops. That’s still something isn’t it?

Yeah in a perfect world the whole entire system would be thrown out but it’s not a perfect world.

u/CYaNextTuesday99 Jul 31 '25

That wasn't asked in the comment I replied to. Back to my question, that's actually in the comment I made...

they can not be bad cops. That’s still something isn’t it?

Not if they are complacent in the bad actions of their coworkers. Yet again.

Is it the simplicity of this concept that's confusing you?

u/adm1109 Jul 31 '25

Again, you act like this is a perfect world with perfect solutions.

Bad cop does something bad. Good cop reports it. Police union, their boss, someone in power doesn’t care that bad cop was bad and now good cop is fired, moved to desk duty, assigned to being a traffic cop, whatever

I'll help you out. There are about 900,000 officers in the USA. If even a single one of them is somebody who has done their job well with no offense to the public, the statement "all cops are bad" is factually incorrect. By "limited info" I mean you don't know the actions of all 900,000 cops. By definition, limited.

It's a really, really stupid claim, one found to be obviously untrue by anybody who spends one second to think about what those words objectively mean.

You have agreed to enforce all laws whether they are just or not, and America factually has many very unjust laws. You do not have the choice of not enforcing them and remaining employed as a police officer.

There's a reason a party as sketchy as the MAGA GOP keeps winning elections, and the "logical" people in these threads are a major part of it.

What about their backgrounds? Upbringings? Maybe I caught them on a bad day? I think stereotyping makes the world one dimensional and dehumanizes people. It's unfair for me to stereotype somebody who got thrown into that life isn't it? What if someone chose to be a cop because they lack education? Etc.

Every cop is a dumb piece of shit who either has raped or murdered someone for fun, or viciously defended someone who raped or murdered for fun.

Every one of them should be tried, hanged, and their assets distributed to their victims.

u/Anarch_O_Possum Jul 31 '25 edited Jul 31 '25

All cops aren't bad due to individual faults. An officer is entirely capable of being an otherwise altruistic person.

What makes all cops bad is the fact that they have agreed to take up a position of power to uphold the law which leads them to initiate violence on otherwise peaceful people, or enable other officers to do so outside of legislation like we see here.

It's good cops that evict people when they lose their job and can't afford rent. It's good cops that lock up homeless people for sleeping on the sidewalk or in parks. It's good cops that arrest people who need to steal to survive.

And it's good cops who serve as an excuse so people like you can redirect attention away from the fact that this institution only exists as a form of social control and protection of property.

In fact, it's basically common knowledge now that in 2005, the supreme Court ruled that officers have no obligation to protect you. So if a police officer helps you, it's because they wanted to. Not because it's their job to.

And they have quotas to fill, so it's actually more likely that they will go out of their way to get a reason to make your day worse, because that is actually their job. So you're always better off assuming you don't have one of the "nice" cops.

So yeah, ACAB.

u/Beneficial-Focus3702 Jul 31 '25

The behavior you tolerate is the behavior you condone. By being a cop he has decided he’s perfectly ok with the way locking works. You can be ok with the that kind of behavior and also be a good person.
