Somewhat off topic, but is this like the hip new way of saying WI State Highway Patrol Poz'd you whilest you were having anonymous sexual intercourse under the influence of ecstasy, bath salts, organic cheese curds, craft beer, and OTC Mexican sinus meds?

And I think we give some pigs a hard time for being pigs, but we don't give all pigs a hard time. Just the lovely ones.

It's just very hard to convey accurately who the good pigs are, so you'll see more bad pigs (Like the persecutors of Lieutenant Dorner) getting condemnation than good pigs (Like that one boy they brought in from the MO State Highway Patrol during ferguson) getting praised.

Some cops are good some cops are bad but all crimes aren't actually illegal and not a goddamn bit of that makes any form of logical sense.

Ironic that it was an overweight silverback that brought Ebola to Cleveland, Ohio.

Quarantine is broken folks, and it happened because of a virulent African virus spread by a lazy African American woman taking care of a Liberian (African) man.

All under the watchful (Very watchful, go read The Intercept) bloodshot choomed up eyes of our first African American president.

We are so screwed.

I don't vote and the government only has my Christian name, which is hilarious because I'm so Jewish my seasonal affective disorder is triggered mostly by the availability of the McRib and if there's any Seinfeld marathons running.

The quickening has arrived boys and girls. You all thought this was all crazy rambles, jokes on you. I'll watch the world end from my porch, joint in one hand, hate speech being tapped out on my Nokia feature phone in the other.

And last but not least it's not racist to point out that Africans are less "people" and more "vectors" in this current catastrophe.

What a gorgeous end times.

It never fails
Never had any kind of serious run-in with police here in Eurotopia, either negative nor positive. Those I have interacted with have been chill though.

FWIW, I have a friend who desperately wanted to be a cop for years and he was kind of an authoritarian rear end in a top hat at times, had a libertarian MRA phase and everything. But he's mellowed out now. Now he's a cool army guy that blows stuff up and gets paid for it. Very naice.

American cops, however, sound lethal if you're poor, black, mentally ill, or just absent-minded.

I am stupid
A couple months ago I was driving up I-390 in New York and this dude in a mustang zipped by me going like 90 and a state trooper coming the other way crossed the grassy median and drove up behind him, and tailgated the dude for like a mile and a half before pulling him over. Was pretty entertaining to watch; I supposed the driver thought he was in the clear when really the cop was probably just running his plate.

I wish we were allowed to appreciate public servants other than the police. Firefighters you can say are alright once in a while as long as you've done your fifty hail polices but Teachers? Garbage collectors? Officials that make sure your food isn't full of poisonous cheap ingredients? Nope, no thanks for them.

Honestly? I don't see a dozen threads a month full of gently caress da teachers and gently caress da garbage man or gently caress da FDA, or gently caress da firefighters.
It'd be nice to see a thread for the good cops that didn't get shitted on, but as we can see that's a bit too much to ask for. I've had bad encounters (rich white guys being cops out trying to press their old man rules on teenagers) but I know that was only a few in a town I lived in. Everywhere else the cops have been pretty good to awesome.

In the real world and in public, teachers are acceptable targets where police are not, but firefighters are generally unacceptable targets no matter what.

You think firefighters don't beat the poo poo out of people? Stay in your apartment when the fire alarm sounds for evacuation and tell them you refuse to leave when they come to your door.

Also, call us first so we can come and watch.

I was drinking beer with a friend at an Alameda beach and a cop on an atv pulled over and told us there's a law saying you can't, he was super apologetic and friendly, we just packed the booze and left it on our car. He also waved at us when he was going back :3

That's great. Really, it is. Now when you see overwhelming vitrol for them, then I can understand the complains about "why isn't there a thread for X?". Besides, I don't see the cops get worshipped like firefighters have ever since some Muslims blew up a few towers despite them being involved and loosing people too. I hardly ever see them mentioned when it comes to all the "Never Forget!" specials and shows.

Once in Madrid a friend of mine was walking down the street smoking a jay. A cop saw him and told him to put it away. My friend put it out and the cop hosed off and didn't fine him or anything.

A madrid cop clearly saw me drinking a can of beer outside Pacha and didn't do poo poo.

Now I live in Texas and can't get away with that anymore.

Are there open container laws in Madrid? I was sitting in the park by that Egyptian temple thingy, and there were people openly selling cans of beer, and plenty of people drinking (although not being rowdy). I didn't think twice about buying a beer and drinking it there. Was I doing something illegal?

I did a burnout / skid onto a main road because I was a loving idiot kid invincible driver and the cop let me go because she could tell I was a dumb kid doing dumb poo poo. She gave me a stern lecture and poo poo but the situation could have been really bad for me losing my license and loving up my poo poo. Thank you nice lady cop. I crashed that car like a year later doing dumb poo poo and nearly killed myself. I am a much better driver now I swear.

I find the ratio of nice to poo poo cops is about 50/50. Kind of like people in general.

Yes there are open container laws, but they are very loosely enforced. You may notice if you go to Plaza Dosde on a Saturday night that cops force everybody out as a show of non-uselessness maybe once every two-three hours and then within minutes people go back.

What you witnessed was the famous botellón.
