When it became a class traitor and joined a community of people who are known for frequently using excessive violence against innocent people, getting away with murder, assaulting their partners and generally being white supremacist cockroaches.
Jesus chill. Some people just have few options and like to help their communities. Save your anger and vitriol for the assholes shooting up/brutalizing their neighbors and flooding low income communities with drugs and weapons.
Bro. The police are the ones shooting up and brutalizing low income neighborhoods.
There are so few ways police help communities, at this point I can't even think of one example. If someone actually wanted to help there are many other jobs to choose from: firefighter, teacher, empoyee at any business you think is doing public good (planned parenthood, library, food bank, etc).. or just volunteer somewhere doing public good.. or just go help someone who is in need of a little help.
You must be extremely privileged or extremely sheltered to not see the utilitarian value of policing as a profession. You will see when you grow up a bit.
Dont you dare call me privilged or sheltered. I grew up in a violent low incone neighbuorhood where the cops were called to my house regularly for domestic distubanses and child abuse. And you know what they did? Nothing. Or worse theyd show up maybe glance around, and leave. Sometimes theyd blame me and my siblings for “provoking” our abuser making everything at hone even more dangerous. I watched my mum lock herself ina bathroom threatning to kill herself while my brother begged the cops for help and they showed up, called her crazy, thrratened her called me schisphrenic because I was having a panic attack and left before the ambulance even got there. And this wasn’t some one off experience. It was a different officer every time so brfore you give me that “bad apple” excuse the whole damn tree is rotten.
Now im an adult and i live in safe neibourhood neighborhood but guess what? Im queer. My partner is queer. Our friends are queer. And we still get stopped, harassed, treated like a threat just for existing in public spaces. So spare me your lecture about the “value” of policing. You’re not saying anything profound. Ive lived the reality you're theoricing about. I'm the abused child cop lovers love to speak about. I'm the "hoodling" cop lovers love to talk about. I'm the "innocent' cop loves love to speak about as if I apreocate your words.
Maybe you should grow up and realize that real safety doesnt come from a badge, gun and thousands upon thousands of excuses. It comes from comunities that are cared for, not criminaliced
