RE: The Cops Are Out Of Control... And The Solution Will Not Come From Government

in #steemit7 years ago

Just because some cops act like dumbasses
doesn't mean all of them are
Cops are humans just like you and me
They just happen to be working as a cop
one of the most underrated jobs in my oppinion
i mean we need cops in our everyday life
but they still get hate for it

Sort:  

Maybe so. I'm not saying we need to get rid of cops. I'm saying the culture of most police forces (especially in the south where I live) are toxic, racist, and far too trigger happy.

Plus, it's a job that holds the power of Life and Death, every day. There are no excuses for "ANY" bad cops. Don't you get that? The standards must be raised.

Also, If i may use a metaphor: Police forces are like Horses pulling a wagon. Which one sets the pace of the team, the fastest horse or the slowest horse? I'll answer that for you. The team can only go as fast as the maximum speed of the slowest horse. Does that clear it up for you? Perhaps the tried and true "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch?" I've got more if you still are struggling to get it.

Yeah i get what you are saying.

I am not saying that you said anything wrong

it is just my oppinion :)

Right... well I'm trying to tell you that your "opinion" is misinformed and not based in real world logic. You should change it. The whole "well it's my opinion" thing is what people say when they can't back up their beliefs, but are so ego-invested in it, that they won't change. I hope that's not you.

What do you mean can't back up ?

i just said that i don't think that all cops are Asses

i have met really nice cops and i even got friends with them.

I guess you didn't ever take any logic or reasoning classes eh? Because what you are providing now is called "anecdotal evidence" and is in no way worth anything. I am saying there are MASSIVE SYSTEMIC ISSUES in police forces here in the States, which is provable by data and all kinds of empirical evidence, and you are just like "hurr durr some cops are nice."
