Recently a cop died in my city. The news was like “officer died on duty while responding to a robbery”.
Turns out the fat ass died of a heart attack in his cruiser while parked outside.
Now the city police is painting him as a fallen hero who deserves a state funeral paid by us. Meanwhile I lost 5 of my coworkers during COVID, working at a hospital. Nobody lowered a flag or gave them so much as a mention in the newspaper
Molly Conger a.k.a. Socialistdogmom once did a deep dive on a report their city police made to show “deaths in the line of duty” and at least one was someone who died on vacation of a long term medical issue. Another ridiculously common one was classifying cops who died in car accidents they caused while not even pursuing anyone as in the line of duty.

I’ve just started listening to Weird Little Guys, she’s quite the funny storyteller
Haha
Heh. Cheap generalizations are fun.
So in response to cops stereotyping minorities, let’s sterotype all cops? Then let’s take that to the extreme and disrepect a dead person you know nothing about, for laughs.
Even If you knew for a fact that the person in that cofin was a bad cop, does thier family deserve this image being passed around like this. No.
One could understand if your motive was to help effect change, and crossing this line would help. But you are doing it for laughs and internet points. There is nothing good about that.
It’s the checkbox parents mark on thier birth certificate. Irrefutable once done.
The parents in GATTACA had an option to choose cop genes for their embryo.
Hey, don’t talk like that about pigs. They’re usually much nicer than people.
What the fuck are you talking about? You ever had a cop find and arrest someone who violated your rights? Must be nice to be that well off! Around here cops just beat students during protests and protect scabs during strikes.
I don’t like police officers as a general rule. But I also don’t really advocate for death as a blanket statement. This is just a poor taste joke.
Edit: Jesus, ya’ll can stop replying now. No wonder we have genocide, so easy to dehumanized others, and not even notice.
They’re human beings who have chosen to sell their body and will to the state to be used as a cudgel to enforce the state’s will through violence. We would prefer that they voluntarily stop participating in the oppression, but if they don’t they are willingly taking up arms against the disenfranchised, which means I have less than zero sympathy when they get what’s coming to them.
“The state’s will” in most cases is to stop a murderer or a robber or whatnot.
People work for the police not to become the instrument of the state, but to prevent actual crimes. The rest sadly often comes after.
Y’all acting like cops are just useless parasites - good luck surviving a week in a modern word without them.
