Nah I don’t agree. But a lot are. The left need to stop distancing themselves from every authority they have just because they see some videos. Look where it has got you people. You’re about ready to be rounded up into camps and no way to defend yourself. You’d think you’d at least try to make friends with some group that could protect you.
All the cops I’ve known, and I’ve known many, are the worst people you went to high school with. I know a cop that showed me a video of him kicking a handcuffed guy so hard that he shit his pants. Another cop I know used to clasp his hands around his butt when he would fart and then whirl around and smell it. ACAB.
You think the police are here to protect us? C’mon OP, here, in this thread, you’re gonna try and spread kumbayah not-all-cops-are-bad police apologia?
No. I think the police protect themselves and their interest. The left need to align the police with their interest. The fact this is missed on you is a big issue
Ok hold up, let me get this straight. Are you suggesting that the left try and make nice with cops of all people, in a post that you authored showing cops being absolutely reprehensible human beings? Like what are you even here for dude? I honestly do not understand. Why does the left need some protector anyways? Why would you advocate for that specifically, and not for the left to be their own protection?
The left need power and authority. They have nothing without it. They need to put themselves into position of authority or power instead of rejecting it. You’re not fighting a revolution without either.
Have you never considered what a left wing police force could look like? What left wing owned business class looks like. We keep failing into these cycles throughout history because we don’t change these paradigms. It’s like the left gravitate to this idea that to be left you must be poor and powerless. Instead we need to have these groups in society become more left. Much like how the right use groups like heritage foundation or neo nazis secretly put their people in these positions. The left need to wake up and put people in these positions and change the organizations over time.
I don’t think it’s that simple. If you were a good citizen you’d stop the bad ones from doing bad things. Why haven’t you? I see bad things all the time
Because it isn’t my actual JOB, that’s why. That’s their job, that they applied for, and we PAY them to do. Nobody is forcing them to be cops. How are we supposed to trust them to clean up crime in our city, when they can’t even clean it up in their own workplace?
If someone in my house was an active criminal, I WOULD do something about it, but it’s not up to me to do anything about anyone else. That’s called vigilante justice, and it’s illegal. We hire COPS to do that. Then they won’t, because it’s too dangerous.

So you’re telling leftists to “align” themselves with police (the state)?

Ok so it sounds like you are advocating for the left to be its own protection.
Remind me again why we need to be nice to police then?

What? Dawg that’s what you’re advocating for. Are you ok?

The police exist to protect capital. It is impossible for the left to align with their interests
This.
Hey, fuck you
Imagine defending cops and complaining about concentration camps in the same comment. Wild.
I’m not defending cops pull your head out from your legs and you’d see that
If you are a “good” cop, then you would do everything you could to clean up your police force, and get rid of the bad ones.
But they don’t. At best, they look the other way from abuse. That makes them complicit.

Because we expect cops to do their jobs competently? Okay…
No because they always wait for someone else to do the job they should be doing
Why should I be doing the jobs that we pay cops to do? You’re not making sense.
No it is your duty. Police are an extension of government and you are responsible for electing government through democratic elections
