Reply to comment by timesuck in As construction begins on Atlanta’s “Cop City,” Pittsburghers are concerned about an allegedly similar local project by LostEnroute

There are some cities where the cops get 40 or 45 percent of the total budget and people seems to be ok with that.

Cops are super citizens and they can get away with virtually anything, so they will be pushing further and further.

I've seen people in this sub refer to "active duty cops" like they're soldiers and not just regular people with a job like the rest of us.

Just like the cops, the refer to their shift as a tour. No bitch, a tour is what a soldier does, and hostile territory, where there’s a legitimate chance they are going to get shot. The culture and the mentality is absolutely off when it comes to policing in the US. Absolute garbage, ask any combat veteran.

Yeah, no, this is common among shift workers. Typically a tour is a batch of shifts, like if you rotate 1st, 2nd, 3rd, each week of a different shift is a tour, or sometimes the full rotation through all three shifts is a tour and then it repeats. It's not strictly defined and people use it in different ways. Though I'm sure the coppers do love the idea of larping as soldiers and pretending they go on deployment.

Not the best time to make this point, since five cops have been shot in Allegheny County in two months.

In the county so far this year, I can count at least two. How many do you know of?

Both of them were actively shooting at cops.

Man you really must be one bad ass MFer! Probably as hard as you are charming. Your hero must be that idiot kid that lit the Cop car on fire in front of Mario’s statue. Anyway, check with Mommy I think your breakfast might be ready.
