On the other hand, how many countless cases go along smoothly when cops are called to a scene? A-****ing-LOT. It's super unfortunate but you can't totally eliminate human error and scum being scum in a high intensity, life-threatening job like that. You can eliminate the bad seeds as soon as you see it which prob hasn't been done enough. You can try to limit it further as much as possible and that is what many are protesting and trying to change here, very rightly so. It's also taken to an extreme tho that is then re-crossing lines and making unjust assumptions and groupings of people that are indeed not all bad, not even remotely close. A lot of these people many are ignorantly hating on as a group are literally heroes. Like c'mon

The issue isn’t just the police, the issue are the people calling the cops. George Floyd would still be a live if the shopkeeper didn’t call the police because he ‘looked dangerous’.

When the shopkeeper pointed out to George that the money he was using was fake, he apologised immediately as he was unaware, and proceeded to return his items to the shelves as he couldn’t pay for them otherwise. There was no excuse for calling the police.

I firmly stand by ACAB, at first sure I was skeptical - how can you group all cops together like that. But all the good work is cancelled out by the fact that they choose to work for a system that is heavily flawed and built up on racial motives. They choose to work for a system that covers up its wrongdoings. They choose to work for a system that forces brutality on innocent people. There’s no forgiving that.
