Cops have been useless for a long time. It is why everyone currently hates them. They don't work for us. They don't protect us. They extract money from us to justify their existence. Truly useless.

- vkou 4y agoYes, it's easy for humans to behave in truly heinous ways if you give them the power to inflict violence on you, with next to no accountability counterbalancing it.
- davidmurdoch 4y agoA cop recently rolled into my neighborhood after the hurricane here in Florida while my kids and about 8 other kids were climbing on a fallen tree. He stopped and walked over to check things out, then talked to the kids and gave my 10 year old a coupon to an ice cream shop that said "I was caught doing something cool" and then posed for pictures with all the kids. The day before that 6 cops with chain saws in full uniform parked in front of my house. They spent several hours cutting up and hauling a fallen tree with my neighbors. Maybe people should talk more about the good things cops do.
