A police offers time is something like 0.001% catching an actual criminal and 99.999% larping military action and harassing/threatening normal people. Sometimes its even misusing public funds to commit murder or stalk their ex. Theyre also much more likely to be domestically abusive.

“All cops are bastards” because the system is broken, allowing most cops to be bastards, and therefore participating in the system (even being a “good cop”) makes you, a bastard.

Am i calling the police if someone breaks into my house? Yes, after ive done all the work of removing the threat so i have a legal standpoint to file insurance claims or whatever. Thats the problem with the system. I cant trust a cop to not consider me to be the real threat or shoot me by accident.

There is no situation made safer by having a racist coward with a license to kill involved.
