Dude, police should not be allowed use their own discretion to police themselves. That should be obvious.

How would you feel if IRS agents didn’t pay taxes because other IRS agents didn’t enforce consequences against them?

You can’t see how impunity from the law (a) creates a culture in which police feel they can do whatever they want, and (b) why that justifiably upsets people?

Like, what exactly do you think it is people hate about cops? Or are you one of those guys who think people only hate because they’re #jealoushaters?

…?

What?

Yes. People who are in charge of enforcing the law violating the law with systemic impunity is inherently worse.

That’s like saying, “Plenty of people don’t wash their hands. You only care that this guy didn’t wash his hands because he’s a surgeon.”

Yeah, absolutely. The context of what a person’s responsibilities are make how we evaluate them different from other people with different responsibilities. If you don’t want the responsibilities no one’s forcing you to do the job.

Just another perk of the job, bro.

God people like this is so fucking annoying. They don’t not care enough to move on with their day. They don’t care so much that they have to come in these posts and tell other people they’re weird because they care too much.
