Have you thought that turning this into "Standard Police Officer" behavior normalizes this behavior and takes away how truly horrific it is.

There is nothing standard about this behavior. It is truly inhuman and should make sure society understands how unacceptable it shoukd be.

Hot take:

Standard Police are horrifying, regularly act in callous disregard, and this behavior isn't very surprising.

Oh that's just silly, not literally every single cop, some are dead, some have traumatic brain injuries, some are too fat to do anything but fill out paperwork, and don't forget the meter maids :P

If it wasn't standard there wouldn't be so fucking much of it.

Wake up.

We all make sure to highly publicise the bad behaviour. Every time it happens everyone in the world has access to the story. This is good as far as it goes but in the same way that cops see a one sided view of the world because it is their job, we see a one sided view of them because that's what makes the news.

I say this as a convicted criminal.

It's not a 1-sided view, it's the inevitable outcome of giving people absolute power with zero accountability. One bad apple spoils the bunch, and there is currently no way to remove bad apples.

Cops are just an apparatus of the state. They don't give two shits about the people. They will go against legitimately good and just causes just to enforce order at the behest of the elites and the will of the elites.

They have been on a great many wrong side of history. Take a look at climate protests, civil rights movement, going against protesters who were protesting the Vietnam war, they helped put in jail draft dodgers who had the moral high ground

The "good" cops either let shitty things their colleagues do happen or they get squeezed out for not being in on it with the rest of the gang. So there are no good cops

You’re the idiot for dehumanizing them. It’s exactly human. It is standard. Fuck pigs eat bacon

The police normalized this behavior. And idiots like you give them a pass for it
