My interpretation is that police aren’t all abusive to the population, and many are acting as if all cops are. As such, the poster was happy that someone felt most cops weren’t horrible people.
Logically, it cannot be that all police are horrible as there are boat loads of police in the USA, and were all of them horrible, every single person would likely have a tale of abuse at the hands of law enforcement to tell. As that isn’t the case, one can assume most cops are just normal people.

- Brian_K_White 4y agoI didn't assume they were even really a cop. They said "speaking as a cop" and then said something that can't be reasonably interpreted any other way than outlandish. Even a real cop who really liked that, would know enough not to admit it in public. That means it doesn't actually matter if they are really a cop or not, either way they were only illuminating a point, not litteral. Maybe the world would be a better place if everyone didn't jump to the worst possible explanation, and then act as if that were the fact. There is no reason to believe that an actual cop actually just admitted to enjoying the freedom to abuse innocents, but you just ran with that and amplified it anyway. That's really all on you.
