shut the fuck up are you really this ignorant?? do you not see the news ever?? have you missed the entire black lives matter movement?? have you ever actually spoken to an on-duty cop in your life?? theyre aggressive and terrifying.

and no they do not risk their lives, or rarely ever die compared to the people they kill.

cops absolutely racially profile!! theyve shot a 17 y/o, a 14 y/o kid, countless mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers, just because they were standing around looking suspicious, aka being black. did you overlook the entire stephon clark case?? he was in his own backyard holding a cellphone when the police shot at him 20 fucking times, killing him. he was 22 and he was black. shit like this is almost common now, and yet you choose to willfully ignore it. cops do this because they know they wont get in trouble for it-- its coddling from people like you that ensures that they can get away with committing heinous hate crimes. theyre the cops, they uphold the law, so when they break it once or twice whos gonna call them out for it?? they know this and they take advantage of it!! theyre high off power and they dont care who they shoot bc ultimately they wont face repurcussions!! the cop who shot tamir rice (12 years old!!) wasnt fired bc he killed a child, he was fired a year later for withholding information on his job application. the murder of a young black kid was seen as less of an offence than a blunder on a job application. do you not see how fucked up that is??? and yet you continue to insist that police are these innocent holier-than-thou babies with pure intentions like some shounen protagonist, and not grown people with their own agency and hate imbedded deep in their rotted hearts.

cops all over the country uphold an oppressive system, because all of america is infected with their disease. there is no one state that is clean of police brutality towards minorities. besides black people, homeless people, trans people, mentally ill people, and other poc are often targeted because their appearance or situation fit the part. theyre profiled because they look like a criminal, they look dirty and evil in the minds of cops, who have been brought to think of them this way deliberately. they could be doing nothing but trying to exist and they would still get shot, just because some random guy with 6 months of training decided that they looked useless enough to society to be able to kill and not face consequences for it. they do not protect minorities, and instead are those said minorities number one enemy. they are accused more often, arrested more often, injured more often, and killed more often than the standard white cishet pureblood American man. this is undeniable. the stonewall riots, currently one of the most famous lgbt riots, happened in response to police violence. the cops knew stonewall was a popular place amongst gay and trans people, and made the conscious decision to raid it instead of patrolling anywhere else. this isnt uncommon knowledge, and still you think it wasnt blatant transphobia and homophobia?? minorities are in more danger from the cops than the cops are in danger from them, but the public face of the police force would have mindless people like you fall for their lies and believe that everything cops do is in "self-defense" or to "protect people". the only thing cops protect in the long run is the systematic oppression of minorities. the police force was not borne from a genuine want to protect people, but to stop those who would break the laws they created, which at the time may i remind you included slavery. police have always hated minorities and have never been quiet about it, but apparently youre deaf to the suffering of others.

i implore you to do some thinking for yourself and just look at the facts, read some news, do whatever you can and just form your own opinion instead of blindly following the people in power. sure not all individual cops have killed or tortured someone, but they all made the decision to be a part of an institution that encourages such things. police thrive on violence and it doesnt take a genius to see that.

i hate cops
