> Something about this subreddit makes everyone become total bootlickers when it comes to cops.

There's a lot of idiots here with a lot of privilege and money. It's the DC area.

Yeah, but on other topics, DC is very progressive and open-minded. But with cops, any type of criticism or questioning is met with downvotes and bad faith arguments

This subreddit is also frequently targeted by right wing fucktards who don't live here

Because the people with downvotes and bad faith arguments only care about the cop shit. Everything else they can stay quiet about and vote.

That's not true, they're also very vocal about homeless people whenever it comes up.

EDIT: They found the post.

Yeah, cops and homeless people make them lose their minds

If there's one thing consistent about practically every single regional subreddit, it's this.

It's funny to me because I agree with you on the subreddits behavior, but almost every person I know in DC is not actually like that.

The cops are so incompetent that even the property owners don't like them.

It's just an online thing.

I'd guess it's just because it's a place where they can mute the ridicule and still feel right when they fall asleep in Dad's apartment.

See, what frustrates me is that they see cops are incompetent, but if the police budget decreases, they go insane.

And let's face it, there's a lot of rural bigots moving to DC the last few years too. Hell just yesterday I saw a fellow on Subredditdrama saying some racist shit and when I checked his post history it was mostly PoliticalCompassMemes, NOVA and this sub. Talks about how the 'confederacy did nothing wrong' and how they used to live in a rural area and how 'feminism ruined everything' when posting on PCM but in this sub he's very 'non-controversial' 'law and order' (wink wink) and gets the upvotes for that.

There's a very good chance they don't even live around DC. A lot of people brigade city subreddits, and DC is like, one of the most liberal bastions in the country so that goes doubly here.

(Case in point, they don't like being called out and I am now negative)
