WAIT. So you're saying that people like cops and military personnel in movies and TV shows DON'T ACT LIKE MOVIE AND TV CHARACTERS!?
This whole piece can be discredited with one supporting fact: The situations in movies and TV are exaggerated for the purpose of eliciting an emotional response from the audience. REAL cops are REAL people, and like all people from all walks of life, some are jackasses, some are genuinely dedicated to their cause, and most are just doing what they can to get their job done. This doesn't undermine that only a hand full that make the media headlines tend to be assholes, mainly because at the end of the day they're still (if not all, than a fair majority) doing what they can to make the streets safer and responding to 911 calls. This kind of call for blind aggression at authority is misplaced. Instead of looking at cops, look at your politicians, look at your schools, look at your congress and demand more from the people that actually have an impact on you and ACTUALLY use the media to cover up what they don't want you to see.

Fake Experience, Fake Reality (Part Two)
Once authority to initiate violence is granted, all is lost, no civilized society can exist. But this is done all over the world. When people stop exempting authorities from morality their lives will be changed dramatically. If it's wrong for me to rob you for charity, it's wrong for an authority to rob you to support the state. Where does an authority get his "authority"? If you don't have it and your neighbors don't either, how can authority be created? How can an elite be exempt from morality? Creating such an exemption is unjustified in reason and is a form of self-enslavement. It is an irrational belief based on fear. As such it creates more fear and is self-enforcing until the society self-destructs. This is exactly what is happening as the police brutality increases, groups polarize and attack each other, and the military expands the violence worldwide.

I'm not even disagreeing that when people in a position of power abuse it, it causes dismay with the people. I'm calling you out because this isn't saying fuck "bad cops" and that the cops enlisted sound have to go through measures to ensure they're mentally stable for the job, it's just an edgy middle schooler "FUCK DA POLICE" with a coat of fancy paint

That is a crock of shit. If even a fraction of the provably real convictions of corrupt, evil, criminal cops, are real, then there is no 'test' of mental suitability for the job of being a road pirate that has any meaning whatsoever.
Your contention is like the kid standing behind the principal in middle school, saying 'Yeah!' to the mean kids when he's telling them to be nice to you.
It'll do you just as much good, too, when the principal isn't there to protect you from the bad kids, and they turn out to be the ones that wanted jobs being mean to people and the only ones with firepower, so they can get away with anything they want.
When they want to get away with something of yours, your attitude today will ensure you have no allies to help you.
Think about that.

Dude, you can go on long rants about how I'm defending people who have done nothing wrong all you want, but my argument still stands: because not ALL cops are corrupt and power hungry, it's ignorant, lazy, and childish to attack a people for its extremists. What's funny is I can tell if I apply your logic to Muslims (despite that their holy book calls for the murder of non Muslims) you'd call me a bigot or that if I bring up that the media you hate so much is primarily run and controlled by jews, you'd call me antisemitic.

Not as long as you, apparently. No one is paying me to shill.
You can't make even one true statement. Every sentence you wrote there contains demonstrable untruths.
I shall cease feeding you, troll.

Not all cops are corrupt, you fucking autist. This isn't an opinion, this is a fact based on unbiased logical reasoning. You're just upset that the fact that you can't LOGICALLY put every cop in the "corrupt" category completely destroys your "BRO ANARCHY FIGHT DA POWER" narrative. Some cops are assholes. Some grocers are assholes. Some teachers are assholes. Some people are assholes. Instead of being a coward and hiding behind a blanket statement, why not attack the ideology of the corruption itself? Because that takes work? Because then you'd have to evaluate people individually? Because then you're not the "so cool freedom fighter" you think you are fighting what you perceive to be the biggest issue in the country? Grow a pair and look at the REAL issues. Race superiority (black, white, brown or otherwise) is an issue. A polarizing society is the issue. Jackasses who believe in nothing but what the mainstream media put out for them (which most of the time isn't the full story or is just a flat out lie meant to misdirect the masses from issues that would otherwise damage their narrative) is the issue. So the next time you think about saying "HUR DUR FUCK DIS GROUP", think for a second: is it the WHOLE group, or is it a handfull that the media prop up because it's more newsworthy to talk about an asshole than a saint? And remember when you polarize, you're doing nothing more than contributing to the "divide and conquer" doctrine that's actually one of the biggest and most deadly issues in modern America.

People are social creatures, and part of our behaviour is to join a group and defend it, even to the death. For patriotism.
This isn't news. It's been abused for millenia, and the folks sucking down blue pills like they're addicts actually are addicts. They're addicted to being slaves.
Those of us that aren't are in the minority. Morality has nothing to do with biology, and expecting people born to be slaves to 'wake up' and become human beings instead of cattle is unrealistic. It is more useful to consider ways in which the woke, but non-psychopathic, those who aren't interested in mastering hordes of slaves, might engender our freedom from the psychopaths.
Maybe when we do that, we'll be able to create a less predatory world for the born slaves. I'm not sure it's really our job, except that we need to keep that resource, the billions of slaves that want to be slaves, out of the hands of psychopaths.
That's a damn tall order, and I sure haven't got a master plan to get it done.
I'd like to see one though, with reasonable chances of success.
Voting isn't the way, and war sucks. What is the third way? I was kinda hoping it might form around crypto.
Still am.

Instead of excluding cops from your list of people that abuse the tyrannical powers they seek, and attain, because they crave power, I suggest you rethink your position.
Try to make some friends that are cops. Hang out with them, and laugh at their stories.
Before long, you will find out you were very wrong.
They'll tell you so.

I'm simply saying to conclude ALL cops are bad is polarizing and factually incorrect. The second you make an entire subset of society your enemy is the second you're no better than a racist who can't accept that all of one race don't act the same.

Don't tell me. I'm not one of those road pirates.
I've known cops for years. I had to. What I told you to do is exactly what I did, and what I told you they'd tell you is what they told me themselves.
Also, you're talking about cops, the guys walking around with guns, and being all bad ass alla time. Who do you think wants that job? It ain't for little old ladies. It's a job for guys that WANT to be badasses walking around with guns beating people up and getting praised by a fawning (frightened) public for it.
My suspicion is justified on that basis. My knowledge is based on my experience.
You're better off without the experiences, trust me. Or don't.
I just hope you don't learn I'm right, the wrong way.

Dude I'm coming out of the air force, I know cops and security forces guys. They're like everyone else; some are jackasses, some are passionate about making a difference, and some are just doing what they're paid to do, like any other job. Also, no, to assume people become cops just to "be a badass" is presumptuous and in the cases where I've seen some men and WOMEN (coming off a little sexist there, champ) join law enforcement was to make a difference in the community with their own hands. Get over yourself.
