Damn. Was there some major event a few years ago where loads of people went on about how the police are evil and racist and need to be defunded? Maybe law enforcement is a bit, uh, demoralized as a result?

Nah, couldn't be.

Lol so they were demoralized because people wanted cops who murder black people to be held accountable and instead of saying “yes that’s a good thing” the whiny baby cops decided to pout and stop doing the jobs they’re paid to do.

Imagine being so whiny because you’re not allowed to murder people with impunity?

Even if this was the case (and it isn't, this complaint goes back decades), feeling sad because people criticize you isn't an excuse to not do your job. It's insane how far people like you go to coddle cops. Can you even imagine this kind of logic working for any other job?

"don't criticize cops, or they won't do their job". Amazing take. Does it work with other professions?

Don't criticize the politicians, or they won't do their job.

Don't post a bad review of that awful restaurant, or they won't get better.

Man, im gonna reply to you because no sense in talking to that person you commented on. How about when everyone got angry at cops killing people and being let off the hook, they doubled down on their shitty behavior instead of owning up to it and actively looking to change. Maybe do your fucking, stop killing people and youll eventually EARN the respect the people instead of demanding it be given to you.
