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.
