Does it ever bother you that...

[dearwinter219]

as a child, you were taught to be responsible for your actions as an individual; as an adult you as held responsible for your actions as an individual; and yet, there is an appointed armedforce put in place to regulate you and your actions with no regard to your individuality? You're not aperson. You're an example. You're just one of many. You are under their jurisdiction whether you like it or not, and they have the legal right tokill you. This force is historically prejudice, both economically and racially. Whereas many other roles in ourcivilization mirror those found in nature (I.E. office drones and worker bees), this force is not represented in anyother natural order. It may even be an entirely fabricated concept altogether. Futile much? Maybe. Are police practical? Sure, but only in the sense that the majority of the civilized world has lost the will to stand up for themselves. It's eitherfight your own battles, or be bound by your savior. If you think the answer to a safer world is stripping people of their responsibility to their own wellbeing, and placing it in the hands of a small, controlled, armed faction; one that has direct ties to those that makethe rules themselves, then you're probably too gullible to help yourself anyway. While you're in the chicken coupe starving, Napolean has warm pajamasand a bed to sleep in. Wake up people, to protect and serve is a lie.

 

[demonbasketball04]

Nope. Doesn't bother me at all.

 

[dearwinter219]

Are you a minority or < working class?

 

[jawnyquest]

why would i let it bother me when there's nothing i can do about it?

 

[ortega03]

As an individual, what do you plan on doing to correct this set structure?

 

[dearwinter219]

Who said there's nothing you can do? Have you ever tried to do anything, or did you just buy into the system as it was sold to you?

 

[shapeshiftah]

but in the absence of a judicial system or law enforcing entity, how is an adult (or a child for that matter) expected to truly take responsibility for theiractions? let's say a child steals their neighbor's bike and gets caught, but the child's parents don't do anything?

Spreading awareness is as far as I can take it with only one lifetime to live. These are centuries old institutions I'm questioning. All I canreally do is ask questions and try to stir up some insight.

If cops just caught criminals, I'd be happy. BUT... they are taught to try and predict criminalbehavior and I have several issues with that. It's that training that puts 10 cruisers on my block searching for a gram of crack and none in the whiteneighbor hoods where the meth is made in bulk. It's that training that says my cousin "fit the description" every time he was yanked by a copafter midnight.

i hear you on that, but in your original post, it sounded like you were taking issue with the notion of having a police force in the first place,and the notion of police having the power to take your life. i agree with your point that cops who don't catch criminals, and who instead lock up innocentfolk are in the wrong and subsequently should take (and face) responsibility for their own actions too.

Less is more

If cops didn't do preventative patrol/actions, we would be screwed.

The system has flaws...just like your logic (refer to your drunk drivingstory)

 

[dunks87]

KUDO's for spelling "you're" correctly.

Had this concept not been ingrained into your logic from birth, you'd laugh at it.

 

[executive76]

Trap?

Stop playing like you're the victim.

There are good cops, and then there are bad cops...end of story.

 

[kix4kix]

U be watching too many youtube clips fam. Nobody is saying police is perfect, but you here claiming that they do more harm than good is ridiculous, I hate thepolice, but they are needed fam, our country is based on it, you don't like it go to a country that has no organized protection. Get that "its all weknow" crap out of here.


Napolean ....Really?

If anything we need to alter how we choose the police not the existence itself.

that basically sums it up. people who apply to join the police department are susceptible to the same human failings as the rest of us: greed,corruption, racism, sexism, etc.

police recruits need to be screened better, but that is a whole other can of worms.
