#bad apple cops

So there's an update on how it turned out. No lives were lost during this video. HOWEVER, before watching, consider:

Poor trigger discipline, ranging from 'hilarious' to 'holy god how do you still have a weener'.

Traumatized kids happened offscreen (but is mentioned in the song)

Police bang down a door very violently while armed

Police openly steal money

Police fabricated a kidnapping to do this

Don't watch unless you're in a good headspace for this.

Will You Help Me Repair My Door - Afroman

Afroman, of "Because I Got High" fame, writes a song addressing the cops who raided his house

Annoying that people say that Leon’s entire character is police and military propaganda when his entire character arc revolves around how the greed of the few big bosses at Umbrella and the corruption of the US government ruined his life

I understand the frustration that comes from seeing people justify supporting a cause for a wrong or less important reason, but remember that the world is full of centrists and that sometimes the thing that will make them listen isn't the thing that actually matters. Like the "our tax dollars are being used for" argument... Obviously the tax dollars aren't the important part but you've seen how many people whine about like, $2 of their taxes being used for pensions

“Not all cops are so bad” is true though, many cops just do their job and protect us. If there were no police, crime would immediately skyrocket and people wouldn’t be safe anymore, we still need the police

anyways this blog hates cops!!! ACAB forever!!! If they really wanna help their community they should go and get a better job and not be a fuckin cop!!!!

i think one of the reasons bh fans are so resistant to like, specifically cos, but also all this focus on the material fact of the military as war criminals is that saying "roy mustang is a nazi" (or hughes is a hazi, as they explicitly did with cos) implies, to their ears, "therefore you cannot like him" or "therefore you are a bad person for loving this character." and like. no one is saying that! literally not even cos is saying that! if the reason you have real trouble accepting the nazi parallel is because it will make you feel bad (or feel likle you should feel bad) about your favs, lean into that feeling! it's on purpose! 03 is saying hm perhaps the heroes we love interpersonally are sometimes cogs in a larger fascist machine that enables genocide and oppression on a mass scale. and it asks you to sit in that discomfort

there is no like, moral high or low ground about which characters you like (as long as you aren't an asshole about it lmao). there is only the metatextual aim to convey that evil is not something grand and special and uniquely designed to cause pain. it's people who are inflamed to action (or inaction) by violent patriotism. for love of country!

"It's a good cop bad cop operation" I love this webtoon , I binged read it in 4 days and looking for more 🤞

Dear Mr. Chibnall,

Please understand that Rosa Parks not getting arrested does not, in any way, take down the entire Civil Rights Movement. Maybe next time you write a historical episode, hire a consultant, perhaps a historian to help you out.

BRPD chief outraged at public meeting as metro council questions him on Brave Cave investigation 

Chief Murphy Paul is not taking this bs anylonger - LISTEN TO THIS AND SEE WHO IS MAKING THIS BRAVE CAVE ISSUE MUTE. The civil service board has members of the police union which makes no sense since they reverse each of the firings of bad cops he has made. He has been through the ringer and I hope he doesn’t keep prayin for them. I suggest he find a much more useful position where the racist city council isn’t the problem stopping police reform

I think it's very important that people point out that "a few bad apples" isn't actually the full phrase, but that "one bad apple spoils the whole barrel" and the importance of rooting out bigoted behavior in institutions, but I feel like at some point we're going to need to ask what is it about these barrels that is spoiling so many apples, and how essentially no apple can go into those barrels and not get spoiled...
