Reply to comment by Hen-stepper in What happened at Davis sq? Taped off with lots of cops. by shminkydink

I’m just amazed that people don’t see the irony, of hating stereotypes and generalizing all Muslims as terrorists, all Black people as criminals, or Mexicans as illegals, but for some reason it’s OK to generalize all cops as racist murderers.

Super weird hypocrisy. Talk about making the situation worse not better

"Cop" is not an immutable trait.

It is a choice they made - and a poor one at that.

Immigration is a choice. and lots of people think their jobs are traits. Ask a doctor.

You keep moving the goalposts that way you don’t feel guilty generalizing and grouping all cops as shitty people because you hate racists and you hate sexist but you fail to recognize you’re just as bad as them.

But just like when a KKK meets a really nice black person they change their minds look up (Daryl Davis) you would feel the same way when a cops helps you after an accident, stops a domestic assault or saves a friends life.

It’s sad you have suck hate. Do you have more in common with the Nazis than you realize.

The idea that cops and doctors are both egomaniacs who conflate their job with their personhood is not shocking.

Ooh wait, if we're going with this analogy of doctors and cops, can we please mandate cops get malpractice insurance so the taxpayer can stop paying for the mistakes they're criminally immune from being charged for? I'd love that.

Pft. What a load. I mean a false equivalence if I've ever heard one.

Immigrants generally don't cause harm to society the way cops do. There's something driving them to get here,and it's usually poverty or violence. I don't fault them for that.

I also don't hate cops enough to wish death on them the way nazis (many of which are cops as they've inflitrated our police departments) wish death on me for being trans.

I've never been "helped" by a cop. Never in my 40 years on this earth. Every interaction has been shit. They're bullying, self-serving authoritarians who relish the idea of having power over others. That's why they take that job.

...Have you ever seen the training they go through? Do you know how they talk about civilians in their union meetings, how they're trained to view us? They're slave-retrievers-turned-occupying-force. They think they're in a war with the very communities they claim to protect.

Your response is ridiculous.

"Cop" is not an inherent trait, it's a pattern of behavior and a set of choices.
