I've only had one close call with a cop, but it made an impression on me.

I was walking home, totally hammered from a party, and I was crossing through the town square, just a big field with nothing in it. I was a quarter mile from my house. I see a cop turning the corner diagonal from me, so I keep walking, hoping he doesn't turn once more and roll up beside me. Well, of course he does. At this point, I'm at the opposite corner from where I started, on the sidewalk, and he steps out of his car and is advancing towards me. He called out, "Hey, what are you doing out here?" as if I wasn't allowed to be there or something. In my drunken stupor I replied, "I'm walking, minding my own business." That latter portion is what did it. He jumps on top of me, and I don't know what *exactly* happened, the thing I remember next is laying on my stomach, handcuffed, and his knee resting on my head. I was silent, which was a good idea. He pulled me up, slammed me into the back seat, with the bars and everything, and I sat there. The doors were closed, but I could still hear him muttering to himself, and he paced the length of the car a couple of times and let me go.

At the time, I didn't think it was a big deal, but looking back I was illegally detained, and I wish I had done something about it.

My incident wasn't necessarily the worst thing ever, but it opened my eyes to the fact that cops aren't really there to uphold the law. They're there to keep people in check, civilly. They're like lunchroom guards, they let people do their things to a certain degree, but when the peasants get out hand, then they crack down, so the bourgeois can have their way. gently caress cops. gently caress the idea of cops too.

I think we just need to make cops seem less threatening. People see cops and are afraid. Cops pick up on that. We just need to stop that initial fear response, and I bet cop on non-cop violence would drop like a rock. We need to figure out some way to make sure that no innocent person gets afraid when they see a cop.

Make all cops ride recumbent bicycles.

Actually no innocent person gets afraid when they see a cop already. Think on that.

Bunch of betas in this thread all about that gently caress the police poo poo but would never utter those words within 10 feet of a cop. Then they'd tell all your friends "heh, I just played that yes officer have a good day officer talk because I didn't want him to shoot me or beat me. Let me tell you about the police state. I've got a link to a thread you might find quite interesting. We need to fight the power, my friends. You see..."

you probably live in a suburb with your parents so unfortunately the worst harassment you'll ever experience is getting roughed up and arrested for smoking weed for the first time at age 35, which will immediately change your opinion in a way no dead negro ever could

Is this how you people go about compensating for your feelings of powerlessness? By selecting a popular, anti-authority platform and (un)ironically spouting one dimensional drivel at, and amongst each other on the internet?

I guess that's easier than educating one's self about the complex interplay of the great many factors that contribute to a functioning society, or joining a civic action group or participating in local government.

At least you're all smart enough and considerate enough to appreciate the irony.

Also lol at "no innocent person gets afraid of cops." Jesus everyone on the interstate slows down to 5 below the speed limit whenever a cop is within sight. gently caress I literally stare at my mirror until they're out of sight and I literally just set my cruise exactly at the limit and have no reason to be worried. All it takes is a cop having a bad day and they can literally ruin your day for no reason.
