Comment on Schools in England send police to homes of absent pupils with threats to jail their parents
ReCursing@kbin.social 5 months agoAmerica is an outlier at the high end. Doesn't change the fact we must assume all cops are bastards. There may be a few good apples who ruin the barrel, but one bad one can absolutely ruin your life on a whim with no comeback on them, so we assume they're bastards to protect ourselves

Not everyone has the lack of accountability America has. Being a cop doesn’t make you a bastard.

There is not nearly enough accountability in the UK. Reread the last sentence of my previous post for clarification

The police here rarely draw their personal protection weapons nevermind use them

Really not the point I am making, my dude. My point is that we must assume that all police are bastards for OUR OWN protection, not that they routinely murder people
