My sister in law is a (not American) cop when she’s not an EMT … And she also moonlights as a volunteer fireman.

Where on the hero-bastard spectrum of cheap generalization you’ve devised does she sit?

The job of a cop is a bastard job. When she is working voluntarily as a cop, she is supporting a bastardized system and is therefore a bastard.

Nowhere, not American is a foreign concept to them.

I don’t know if your pun was intentional, but yeah anything not American would be foreign to an American. That’s how definitions work.

I explained to a police officer in my beer sharing circles during the George Floyd protests:

Damn near every kid in a high school cafeteria knows who the bad kids are and what tables they sit at. It’s no different anywhere in the real world. Every cop at every precinct knows which cops are the bad ones.

Unlike a highschool cafeteria, you, as a police officer, have a civic, professional, and moral duty to do everything in your power to get those cops kicked the fuck out. And the idea that doing so might somehow harm your career? That’s why “all cops are bastards.” It’s rotten from the top down. A few bad apples, in the case of police officers, spoils the whole bunch.

Systems can be bad, and the people who support and work within bad systems are bad, even if they act nice outside of that system.

Hi German here, we say fuck ICE a lot because it’s a fast Train who always comes late. But to make a long story short, I am missing something here, what does ICE stand for?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the US. They’re basically the ones who raid homes and businesses looking for undocumented workers

And don’t forget about separating parents from children, holding illegal immigrants in overcrowded cells made from chain link fences inside buildings… They are America’s version of the Show me your papers patrol.

Blame the parents for not immigrating legally. ICE is there to protect our borders. Want open borders? You can donate your house first. Oh not your house? Then fuck off.

Millions live here legally. “It’s hard!” is not an excuse.
