People like this deserve one thing only, but saying what they deserve will get you banned from some instances.

I've got a friend who, thanks to close family of hers being a cop, is still unconvinced of cops status as bastards.

It's getting more and more frustrating listening to her justify why other cops don't do anything about these kinds of cops. Still can't accept the ones that do nothing are just as culpable. Accessories, in many cases.

If I stand next to my buddy as he kicks a guy to death, I will be getting jail time too. Why not cops?

This piece of shit deserved prison when he killed someone. His actions after the fact show he has no regard for human life and as such is a danger to others by simply being alive.

Because your analogy is terrible.

It's more like saying that one dude in your friend group from when you were in your twenties always tried to get in fights whenever you went out went on to murder someone one day without you being there or around. You're now also blamed for the murder because you ran with him.

Or even better, your older scumbag sibling murdered someone, or parent.

The vast majority of these people aren't even working together. They barely know who each other are in large departments.

They also have one of the strongest unions in the USA coupled with institutional laws that protect them by default with little statistical tracking.

Those aren't issues where you blame people through proxy lol.

What's with the lol at the end, is this topic a joke to you?

Because what you're saying is so farcically absolute it can only be laughed at lol.

Kids use lol as punctuation
