    Well of course you haven’t seen law enforcement being helpful, between “Police shot an armed bank robber and everyone else is unharmed” and “Police shot an unarmed teenager”, what do you think will get more public attention? It’s definitely not “Police helped an old woman crossed the street”, nobody gives a fuck about that, I’ve run into both good and bad cops and even I don’t care.

      And it gets attention because it shouldn’t happen, yet the police over there keep killing people they shouldn’t.

        And how does it justify saying “All cops are bastards”? What makes you think ALL cops are bad? Every single one? Or maybe there are two sides of a coin and you just straight up refuse to accept the fact that the other side exists? Tell me, if you hate cops that much, would you call them if your children get kidnap? And what would happen to society if the police or any group that enforce the law is no more?

          Do good cops out the bad ones? Nope. They’ll just let them do their corrupt bullshit making them complicit in the harm they do. Do we need cops? Yes. Do we need cops murdering civilians without serious consequence?

            How about you show me the number of people killed by police and the number of people helped by police in a year? Also, based on you “logic”, cops aren’t supposed to do anything good, they have to kill people constantly in order to be cops, if a cop doesn’t do any of that, they are not a cop? And since you didn’t answer my questions. Imma ask them again: “And how does it justify saying “All cops are bastards”? What makes you think ALL cops are bad? Every single one? Or maybe there are two sides of a coin and you just straight up refuse to accept the fact that the other side exists? Tell me, if you hate cops that much, would you call them if your children get kidnap? And what would happen to society if the police or any group that enforce the law is no more?” Oh and an extra one: If ALL cops are bad, every single one of them, how come there aren’t riots or resistance EVERYWHERE?

      That’s kinda like complaining about how nobody talks about how airlines keep planes flying and landing successfully, how the media only focuses on planes crashing and accidents. “Sure, this one airline covered up poor maintenance practices leading to deaths, but what about all the passengers airlines help everyday?”

      Imagine airlines get to investigate themselves instead of the FAA and how it would go over when they find they did nothing wrong every time.
