The police are only as effective when the public work with them. There are a few bad cops but we have gotten to the point in society where we view cops as all bad and all working against us. I really hate that narrative. It’s constantly perpetuated on Reddit. I don’t know why anyone would want the job of being a cop and we expect them to fix the murder rate. There is zero logic in how society views law enforcement

I don’t think people think all cops are bad, just frustration with soft strike, I do agree however why would anyone want to be a cop, pay isn’t that great especially outside of city

You could try to argue that it’s disproportionate, but saying you have no idea where the anti-police sentiment is coming from is just bad faith. I personally even have cooperated with them before and they were goddamn insufferable.

Law enforcement is largely ineffective, financially inefficient, and operates with impunity. Shocking people don’t like it. If you still believe there are a “few” bad cops I don’t know where to go with you.

Why don’t you become a cop? I’m serious., So many think they could do a better job but would never take the job.

I could do a better job but I make 50% more than a cop and have a job I love. Why would I become a pig? Just because I won’t become a cop doesn’t mean I can’t want a more efficient and effective service. I hate that my mechanic takes too long but it doesn’t mean I should become a mechanic.
