Comment on Are people with High functioning autism allowed to become police officers?
CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 day agoThis guy thinks cops follow laws and therefore the laws are the problem.
I used to think that cops were trying to do the right thing, to help people.
They aren’t. When your eyes open up to that, you’ll probably be sad. I was. But it’s a fact. The occasional good cop (they do exist) is just a drop of clean water in a sewer.

So what is the solution then, total anarchism? what about those who cant defend themselves?

The common man has no way to solve it.
The real solution would be disband police unions, create high and rigorous training standards that are enforced, create permanent consequences for being a bad cop (i.e. you can’t just go to the department one town over), and purge the ranks of the old guard that keep the corrupt system moving as it does. It requires a full reset to correct within a generation, which means we’ll never see it. Because that course of action has to come from political leadership, and that obviously won’t happen, so in the current reality all we can try to do is live our lives while avoiding the police as much as possible.
Not all societal problems have a feasible solution. Doesn’t mean we can’t point out the problems.
