Be nice to people, that’s all.
But I don’t see what’s productive about demonizing the police when we both know that the first thing you’ll do when someone breaks into your house or whoops your butt is call the police. Or do you think you can bring justice to perpetrators in your own terms with your own hands?
I wasn't going to engage, because lets be honest, there's no point, but I happened to scroll past these the other day, and you've given me a good opportunity to use them, and others might enjoy, so:
Damn generalizing a large group of people always works out great right?
I really hope you never need an officer for anything, but if you do I hope you’ll remember this conversation and maybe walk away with the right lesson.
Assuming they're able to walk after the officer is done protecting and serving them. If you can call the police or approach an officer without concern then you don't understand the reality a lot of people live in.
