[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 71 points 2 months ago (2 children) Cops being the good guys. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 15 points 2 months ago Imagine an evil terrorist organization coming into the picture, and it's up to REAL COPS to stop them. And like real cops, they end up taking a detour to Walmart, where a woman was accused of stealing so they pull out their guns and kill a baby. Oh is this too real? My bad. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (3 children) Honestly, watch any crime documentary and you realize how often cops are absolutely incompetent. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] 1D10@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 child) I like watching suspect interviews, all the cops follow the same script, if people would just shut up and ask for the lawyer far fewer crimes would be solved. I tell my kids to treat cops like vampires, never let them in the house and sticking to your rights is garlic to them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 child) Cops are your friend (remember we're talking to children here) up until the moment you are accused of a crime. If they think you're involved in something, stop talking and ask for a lawyer! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 1D10@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 child) Nah, cops are not your friend, I'm a 50 something white male, I have called the cops 3 times in my life. When I was 15 I found a guitar in the woods, cop did everything he could to pin the theft on me, even searched my house. Late 30s some kid stole my sons bike, we knew who did it but the cops just said well we didn't see it happen so we can't do anything. At 50 a friend attempted suicide, I called an ambulance, cops got there first, walked right past my unconscious friend and started poking around the house. I raised my kids to stay out of trouble and stay away from cops. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 1 point 2 months ago Fair enough. Keep the dogs in and the cops out! permalink fedilink source parent [–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 child) Wow, that's a pretty sweeping statement.
