Nope. Dont cast such a wide net. The media only ever reports the bad things cops do because they know it will get views. There are plenty of good cops you just need to dig deeper.

Yeah TC you have to dig really deep in order to find the good cops. They might not even be in this country but they're somewhere!

even if your post wasnt lacking in any knowledge whatsoever of the police system in the US, this sentence alone is condemnation enough

Probably because getting shot and not reporting it is a crime.

We don't need cops in 2020. Just get rid of the whole concept of police. This is proof.

so in your mind; one example is not proof of bad cops yet your one shitty example is proof of good cops?

jfc dude, go back to school.

I'm not on the cops side by any means, but this looks like that photo where they made it look like the cop was pointing an assault rifle directly at a kid on her dads shoulder. I gotta see the source. I'm not trying to look stupid by someone who is working against the real 10million stories of heartless pigs doing hateful acts.

Im dumb. I didn't think about clicking it for more context. If all the stuff is true, which wouldn't be surprising, holy shit.

"You need to dig deep to find the good cops" is such an insane thing to say.

The fact that the good cops are so few and far between that digging is required to find them is essentially a confirmation of the intent behind someone saying all cops are bad and what you're doing is obstinately arguing the semantics of that exact phrase while shitting your pants and crying.

Too many big words. Can you put it in simple English, my monkey brain cant compute. Cant tell if youre someone I should be arguing with or agreeing with right now

That's the thing, though. Your base premise is wrong because you actively choose to ignore reality. The digging comes in trying to come up with enough evidence that "all cops are bad."

Over 50 million people have an encounter with a police officer every year
Source: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=70

A thousand people are killed by cops every year, roughly half of them armed
Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/police-shootings-us-death-toll-gun-control-officers-a8777046.html

So even if you assume literally every single police shooting is unjustified, that's 0.002% of police encounters. But that's all you hear about. Even the odds of being killed while black while unarmed in a police encounter is something incredibly small. 99.998% of all police encounters happen without anyone getting shot or killed.

The vast, vast majority of police interactions that happen daily go on without incident, but because you don't hear about them, you don't think about them. Instead, you hear about the dozens of cases that make the news, all negative, and extrapolate from there.

I absolutely believe we need police reforms, and I absolutely think cops that do kill someone should face proper, unbiased judgement, but this recent movement to try and claim the entire structure is rotten is born entirely from an ignorance (willing or otherwise) to the basic, factual reality.

So if you want to really claim that people have to "dig" to find good cops, consider that you're taking a fraction of a fraction of situations and making the case that it represents the whole.

I wasn't saying you need to dig to find good cops, I was responding to Duncan saying it.

Most gang members are great people to the other members and people they like in their own (pointy) hood. It's everyone else they're a danger to.

Id argue street gangs probably do more for their communities overall. They just don't get handouts and gotta get the money in alternative ways.

no one defends cops that mace kids

Regardless of how relevant that one picture is, I believe the actual problem with the police is accountability.

There will always be assholes in any given group and law enforcement is no different. No matter the changes, there will always be cases of abuse. Ensuring no abuse ever happens is not a realistic goal by any means. The actual goals are reducing those cases and making sure that when they do happen, they are handled fairly.

Chauvin chose to be an asshole and not care about the harm he did to another man. The 3 officers next to him chose to support their fellow officer instead of calling him out. They stood there and kept the public away while the bad cop did his thing. This is not an isolated case. Look over any police brutality video. Yes, we can all agree that the one officer committing the abuse is a bad cop, but what are those standing around and merely keeping the public away?

It's no secret that trusting and supporting your fellow officers is considered vital in law enforcement. "When you're out there, they're the only ones that got your back". When there's no abuse happening, this is a fine sentiment. When you simply keep watching and keep the public away while a fellow officer pepper-sprays a child, hit a news reporter or presses his knee on the neck of a restrained man, that's a different story.

If cops are insistent that the problem is merely a few bad apples then they need to spot, neutralize and get rid of those bad apples as quickly as they can. There is a pattern of doing nothing until a civilian's recording of the abuse becomes viral, sending the officer on paid leave and, months later after the outrage dies down, either clearing them of all charges or sending them to another department with a clean slate.

tl;dr: Cops need to police their fellow cops and the justice system needs to be more proactive and open when dealing with abuses by cops.

True. Theres not a single good cop. Would love to have one approach me negatively. Pigs would fly.
