Cops dont responsibly handle the authority they have been given and they desperately need to be put under adult supervision. We cant count of either of the two political parties to do that. Its been that way for at least 100 years. So maybe getting rid of them and letting something new form is the only way. They are hopeless.

I love this meme because this is the absolute spiciest take and I'm totally here for it.

I know people don't like this concept, but I think it needs more genuine discussion. There is a general unwillingness to address the question of who comes to lend aid to someone who is being threatened. Personally, I like the answer "your neighbors, who've trained in deescalation and have no unique authority" a lot better than either "the state" or "no one ❤️ ".

Keep me honest, isn't the gangsta group called Crypts came from this?

[–] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Crips, which have been given the backronym "Community Resistance In Progress".

But it doesn't take much research to show they do not stand for the types of values you're referring to.

@compostgoblin Please take a moment to think and tell me why, in your opinion, someone could come to hate cops.

[–] compostgoblin@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

Well, there are many reasons someone could come to dislike cops, but their legacy and ongoing patterns of brutality and racial discrimination both come to mind.
