      If you didn’t have it before joining, you’ll have it after all the ‘training’ that consists of showing a million videos of cops getting shot!

        Hours and hours of daily training being taught how to solve any and all problems by using your gun and only your gun.

          Don’t forget the seminars telling you that literally every person you ever meet, on or off duty, is planning and actively wanting to kill you.

      Look, I hate pigs with all of my soul. I have suffered at their hands, many, MANY times. But that was a one-off case. A case 25 years ago.

      Yes, I know, you’re so smart for digging that up. I got cookies? Want a cookie?

      EDIT: No one got a rebuttal? No one can say I’m wrong here? Isn’t that something. Going on your gut instinct? Like anti-vaxxers?

      Sure, but we can screen our police better to make sure they won’t harm our communities.
