Its probably because they know its stupid, as well Its a stupid take, but the cant always change someones mind about it

The problem is you dont know whats going on everywhere else at all times. No one can keep up with everywhere. Ive heard of lots of times where good cops have arrested bad cops, or stopped bad cops from doing shady shit, or the time the station took down a group of corrupt cops. But its also jot stuff people talk about on here. Cops have done good stuff, but the only posts we get on here is about the bad stuff Maybe your area is filled with bad cops, but that doesnt mean ACAB And not all cops have training to de-escalate situations. But they have been trying to train more. But its not a fast process

a) things are worse elsewhere as far as statistics go. cops don't help poverty, they just exacerbate it. populations of unhoused people are increasing everwhere. cops only serve to harass them from location to location. they are useless.

b) I dunno, I find it weird that you say you can think of these things (cops doing good things), but aren't using examples. I can think of a few 'good' instances too. The cops here took out a couple of psycho bank robber brothers that wanted to kill cops. It was a month after Uvalde and they didn't hesitate whatsoever. I'm also not just talking about 'what I see here' on...PotD. I'm talking about the accumulation of media, both pro and anti cop. I see way more corruption than I see good.

c) them not being trained to de-escalate is the problem. I don't personally work for places that don't protect me. It's sad that cops don't have that pride.

It also seems like cops are...even worse elsewhere, outside of where I live. and they're still pissants where I live.
