I’m a little surprised there are 6 cop lovers here to give this 6 downvotes. Maybe paid Israeli shills are double dipping.
Yes, but where is the robocop?
Sorry, I wasn’t listening. How long do I have to compl
Any cop that would quit for moral reasons is the type of cop who probably shouldn’t. This message only makes things worse.
This is exactly the source of the problem.
If all leftist cops quit, the police will obviously have a right bias. You should encourage people who agree with your ideology to join institutions that have power.Same with the military. Why is there a disproportionate number of nut jobs in the military? Well, part of the reason is certainly because leftist social circles straight up bully anyone in their own ranks who would consider joining.edit: this applies e.g. In Germany much more than in the US. I crossed it out to avoid getting criticized by the us defaultism crowd.The problem is structural. Encouraging more left-leaning people to join these institutions will just make them very unhappy and likely to quit later. Furthermore, you can’t really abolish a broken institution from within.

I mean it’s very understandable that people don’t wanna get involved in supporting America’s settler colonialism project, among other things.
I meant that more general than the US military. It certainly applies in Germany for example, which is much less involved in wars around the world.
But even if you want to restrict your view: Yes, even the US military complex could do with some left leaning people in positions of power. Who is advising the White House on where to send its military? Some random communist literature student or the military (with heavy commentary from oil and gas industry leaders?
Even Germany is selling weapons to Israel and I can’t blame anyone for wanting nothing to do with that, but getting back to the US: In order to get into a position where they can influence national decisions, the random communist literature student will have to be a major part of the US war machine. Now remember that the US has been involved in two genocides in the past 10 years. I see your point but the kind of person who will actually steer the country towards peace will never be allowed to reach such a position in the first place unless they become another cog in the war machine.
