@joost I can’t, and wouldn’t, speak to anything other than the current state of affairs here in MA/USA and I can say vehemently and with certainty, All Cops Are Bastards.
The appellation is meant to convey that if one of them is allowed to violate the law and his oaths to uphold and enforce them and faces no consequences then those who stand beside him are just as culpable for his actions.
There are probably great cops somewhere in the world. There are any at The Canton Police Department or at Massachusetts State Police Headquarters. Of that I can assure and the above text messages prove.
His superiors saw those and doubled down to protect him.
Fuck.
Them.
All.
ACAB.
This may not be safe for viewing at work.
*aren’t any
@joost US cops are what's toxic.
My grandson wants to be a policeman. (GREAT typo of the day, "grandsin."
P.S. getting high for a million years, while itvwas illegal, left me with substantial PTSD, I had no idea I had, until my duplex neighbor grew some pot. I had an outrageous internal emotional reaction to it. I read the local law, I realized it was OK, but I had to burrow down into ny unreasoned paranoia, and trace where all the tendrils of it went, including fear of the police, distrust, etc. I am a whitey, so I am not likely to be stopped, but once AI takes hold, every ACAB ideation will mske a checkmark somewhere, if we don't stop the process.

When I was growing up I knew some kids of cops along the way and I swear every single one of them had stories about how racist their dad was and stories of how they beat the shit out of black folks and had a good laugh about it.

The US rhetoric is so toxic.
