But who can blame them right?? A prominent police trainer said police have the “best sex … in months” after they’ve killed someone.

its well known in all 50 states. they are trained to be cowards, and then act accordingly.

police academies are also known for forcing out intelligent, caring humans in lieu of thugs.

thats how we end up with acab

In my home city, which is a few million people and is considered one with really bad crime, the number of cops killed in the line of duty since 2020 has still not exceeded those killed by Covid during the height of the pandemic.

5 cops died of Covid Jan 2020-Dec 2022.

That’s a creative and infuriating way of looking at the numbers, well done.

Hopefully someone can figure out how to turn that into a political talking point. Then again, the people who need to hear it would of course never hear it.

I find the simplest way is to rattle off jobs that are more dangerous that people don’t treat with the same respect. Construction is an easy one.

Delivery driver is another job that is more dangerous than cop.

IIRC Covid was the leading cause of death for cops nationwide for 2020, 2021, and (less sure) 2022. One of the groups that fought hardest against wearing masks. If challenged I will dig up a link but I don’t think it should be very hard to find.

One would have thought they’d take covid at least as seriously as elderly dementia patients who confusedly started to leave with mechandise they then returned, but nah.

Damn, that says so much about them. Their one job is to protect the public, but instead they fight to make it even harder to protect themselves from a manageable risk.

I pretty firmly believe there are two types of cops: one who joins out of a genuine desire to protect the community, but those are often pushed out or silenced by the second type who joins because it’s the way for them to “legally” murder, bully, extort, exploit and/or harass whomever they want with little to no consequences. In a just society, they would be considered the criminals. Your link is a great example.

John Oliver had a great bit on this police “Warrior Training”:

It’s 1/2 an hour worth watching, but if your time is limited, start here:
