I disagree but then again I’m not someone who has ever done drugs. I don’t regard the police as villains but there are some bad apples. I’m sure there are drug users who are also. And some of the drug dealers have guns, which is never a good situation.
If you have 10,000 good cops, and 1,000 bad cops, you have 11,000 bad cops.
Here’s the thing, a lot of people like to compare groups: cops vs druggies, cops vs gangbangers, cops vs antifa, etc.
But of those groups:
One was founded upon the finding and retrieval of slaves.
One is paid for by taxes.
One receives military augmentation via vehicles and weapons.
One has a disproportionate kill rate amongst the general population of POC vs whites.
One has an actual union + lobby.
The police as they are are not a means to combat crime, they are a means to facilitate money for a very non-fair justice system that itself is rife with corruption.
Edit: and while there are many cops who are “good people”, there are way more “good people” in other careers that don’t have carte blanche to kill.
Oh well if you don’t do drugs, you’re totally safe! Everyone knows police have never kicked down the wrong door, or drunkenly broken into the wrong apartment, or driven a tank into the wrong house and killed someone before checking to make sure they have the right address. They always knock politely and say, “excuse me, are you the drug dealer we’re looking for?” before shooting people and/or pets.
THANK THE GOOD FUCKING LORD FOR THAT!! I can add it to my other gold medals for being the best person ever to exist! (And I really do have a medal for that).
A former cop posted on reddit (paraphrasing): 20% of cops are genuine heroes who got into the job to help people. 50% are just normal people there to do a job, get paid, go home. The other 30% are psychos who got into it specifically to abuse authority. That comment has always stuck with me.
The big thing is 70% support and enable the 30%. Those 20% are not genuine heroes if they protect rapists, thieves, racists, and violent criminals who abuse their authority. They are, at best, the lesser evil.
What’s so hard about living a life where you don’t have to be a criminal doing terrible things. I haven’t had to deal with the “law” because I believe in and follow them. I’ve had a great life and yes, it can be done. So why do people choose to wallow in muck if there’s a better option for them??? You don’t have to deal with it either if you want a better life.
WarmSoda and I have had a personal close relationship for years now. Her moniker “WarmSoda” is a reference to her love of “golden showers” - she likes being pissed on by men. She refers to herself as a natural “wide receiver,” if you know what I mean (wink wink!).

“One bad apple spoils the bunch.”

It’s so weird how many people only use the first half of that phrase and use it to mean the exact opposite of what it means

Your medal is in the mail.

And guess which ones get promoted? Hint: it’s the ones who willing to do anything to get more authority.
No argument from me. Fuck the police.

The “one bad apple spoils the bunch” axiom loses a lot of its meaning when you ignore the second half.
That sounds great! Thanks.
Going to bet OP is a teenager with a extreme tiny view of the world.
If not, yikes. I hope and pray this is a child.
Don’t know what OP is, but don’t really give a shit for your view anyway.
Oh boy, I guess I should be happy for you that you never had to deal with it.

You should at least take your prescription drugs.
A very nice thought, I appreciate it!
