    Yeah, but these are cops we’re talking about—they’re conditioned to escalate at the first sign of noncompliance.

    Can you really picture a cop physically intervening, being pushed aside, and saying “ok, never mind”?

      I mean, if the other guys scare them…

        generalisations shouldn’t be applied to individuals but often hold true for groups… a non-trivial number of US police officers escalate situations if they aren’t given “respect” and compliance. that is a fact… when applied to a decent period of time, over a city full of US police officers, escalation is all but inevitable: not for any individual, but the group

          Availability heuristic. You don’t hear about the thousands more peaceful altercations. The only ones you hear about are the violent ones which, surprise surprise, are more likely to get shown in the media

            Well yeah but there are wayyy too many violent interactions

            Also during every violent interaction how many “good cops” just stood there and watched?

            40% of cops admit to abusing their partners lmao

            It’s basically safe to assume if someone wants to be or is a cop they’re really just an actual psychotic criminal underneath

                Fuck the fucking pigs. Guilty until proven innocent at this point. I give game wardens and postal inspectors a pass, I guess.

                I hope most of them die in a fire and it hurts the whole time.

                I had a dear friend who was gang raped by sheriff’s deputies. I reckon that’s just an anecdote.

                  I had a dear friend who was gang raped by sheriff’s deputies.

                  Unless this happened in a third world country, i reckon those cops would be in jail by now.

                  Condolences to your friend

                    You are delusional and probably a nefarious actor
