All Cops Are Bastards, even if they’re not bastards before becoming cops. That’s not to say they’re necessarily morally corrupt, but that the system makes them behave like bastards who keep blaming the system instead of actually standing up and taking a stance. And excuse it with “we just enforce the laws”.
And then from their other orifice, they claim they don’t need to know the law to enforce it. Being a peace officer should require passing a law test, insurance, and exposure to liability if they fuck up.
there is literally no bar to become a cop in the US, in many jurisdictions (some areas have gotten so fed up with outrageous civil lawsuit payouts, that they finally crack down on their local police…but that’s rare and still filled with nepotism)
it’s the realm of high-school dropouts going on power trips.
Software: This guy is [someone totally unrelated]
Cop: Wow, that’s so cool! Guess I have to arrest you now!
As much as I hate ACAB on a pedantic level I have never in my life been so inclined to believe it. The united states has a competency crisis.

Now that’s just not true.

There is a bar to becoming a cop, but it works the other way.
You can actually have too high of an IQ and they’ll pass on you. Never mind that you can retake the psychological test that’s suppose to weed out the psychopaths.
