Reply to comment by [deleted] in State Police officer involved in crash on Rt 6 in Chaplin by Prime_Cat_Memes

So this can account for some of the instances. But can you say it's all? There is a systemic abuse of power within the polices forces of the USA. In many places to the point of gang control. I will not say all cops are bad. But it takes a fucking lot to put any trust in one for me. I consider police guilty until proven innocent.

Maybe you grew up differently than I did, but my entire life I've been targeted by police for just going about my day. I've been pulled over for profiling, I've been tossed down a small flight of stairs by my neck at age 15, I've watched countless people be aggressively approached by officers with absolutely no need for that level of force. I think it depends on where in CT you are. Those were mostly New Haven. The one who tossed me was Milford.

My biases come from the treatment I've received. As I said. I'm sure not all cops are bad. I've met 2 in my life who I respected. But I don't ever just assume they're good.
