      Good cops get fired. Do you know what happens when an abusive cop’s partner tries to prevent an instance of brutality or racism?

        All. 100%. What good person would join a group designed to oppress labor in favor of the owning class?

        Let’s be real. Cops don’t stop crime. Adding cops to an area doesn’t reduce the crime rate. They also don’t solve many crimes. So why would anyone be a cop? So they could exercise power over others. That isn’t good, is it.
