Right, so how do we weed out bullies? I think we can all agree that bullies don't need to be cops, yes? And I think we can all agree that those that don't agree to the previous premise are dicks, so can we vote them out of office?

You can tell they’re bullies by the badges

Not all police are bullies, and I completely support removing ANY officer who treats people like this. Any officer who kills should be removed immediately from their job. If it comes out that there was irrefutable proof that they were in danger or taking down an active shooter, they can be reinstated. Of there is ANY question that or was not necessary, they should lose their job And right to carry any firearms.

The stereotypes of high school bullies becoming cops and cope being wife heaters are around for a reason. Sure it isn’t every single cop but you can’t possibly deny there’s a culture of violence and power abuse in policing

Edited for typos: Correct, but the overgeneralization that all cops are dangerous is not accurate nor helpful for solving the issue. It’s not a binary situation and should not treated as such.

That boot won’t start tasting better just because you keep licking it

What boot? There are good officers, who do not deserve to be punished for the others. There are good doctors even though some push opiates. There are good teachers even though some are a waste of space. Everyone who cannot perform their job with integrity should not have that position.

Not all gang members are murderers, but they're still gang members. Police forces are legalized gangs.

I agree not all are bad. There are a lot of good ones.

What I can’t wrap my head around is how many bad ones there are!

I also believe there aren’t consequences for the evil ones and that the current training seems to encourage violence
