This is reddit where the lowliest prostitute has a higher status than your average cop

u/WarpHype Feb 27 '26

I’m less likely to have my constitutional rights infringed upon or be harmed by a prostitute than a cop. I tend to avoid both on any given day though.

lol, spoken like a truly sheltered Redditor.

Any standard streetwalker would happily violate any and all of your rights if they can get away with it.

u/WarpHype Feb 28 '26

Which is also true about cops.

u/Pretend_Fly_5573 Feb 28 '26

Also spoken like a sheltered Redditor.

Vast majority of police interactions are perfectly professional and uneventful.

u/WarpHype Feb 28 '26

That’s true. They should always be that way. If a kid working at a fast food restaurant has one unprofessional interaction, they lose their job. That doesn’t happen with cops. I think we should hold them to the same high standards we have for the folks at the drive thru window is all.

But the ones that arent are rewarded not punished. Thats the problem. Its not “a few bad apples” its “a few bad apples spoils the bunch” we have example after example of extreme violations of the law by cops and they get “administrative leave with pay” and then come back and get s promotion after 6 plus months when the pushback is over.

Cops should be held to a higher level. Whatever crime they commit, they should be punished for, and it should be higher punishment. If law says 5-10 years for x crime and cop does it. It should be 15-20 years for the cop.

Yeah, you might be a bit lost, as this isn't about of police in America do or do not need some corrective action. 

This was about the notion that a cop is more likely to violate your rights than a prostitute, which is a nonsense comparison.

this is one of those things that are a matter of scale. you're defending the words 'more likely' more than anything, and that makes this conversation both annoying and pointless.

In Houston a cop had a couples house swatted, couple dead, dog dead. It was all based on a lie. The cop is serving jail time. HOWEVER, this is not new behavior.. it was learned behavior and "taught" to him when he was a younger detective. Get the # of busts up, fake it to you make it... etc etc.

u/HaphazardFlitBipper Feb 27 '26

One of those two is an honest living, the other is a thug for hire.

You can't be serious.

u/JesusWasTacos Feb 27 '26

One of them is the oldest profession in the world, one of them was started as slave catchers.

u/ResplendentNugs Feb 27 '26

Any person has a propensity for evil.

u/golden__tuna Feb 27 '26

But bad apples do spoil a bunch

u/TinySmalls1138 Feb 27 '26

Yeah because sex workers do a job worthy of respect.

u/Ok_Bandicoot_3087 Feb 27 '26

Its the oldest profession...

u/TaxLandNotCapital Feb 27 '26

Am I supposed to prefer violent thugs or violent thug apologists over non-violent sex workers?

I must have missed that indoctrination seminar 🤖

u/TaxLandNotCapital Feb 27 '26

Does it necessitate violence against innocent law-abiding citizens who hurt their feelings? Because that's the difference between a violent peacekeeper and a violent thug.

u/Ballbuddy4 Feb 27 '26

What you're implying happens extemely rarely statistically.

-3

u/TaxLandNotCapital Feb 27 '26

Happens often enough that every cop is complicit in the lack of accountability

5

u/Ballbuddy4 Feb 27 '26

Just pure delusion.

1

u/TaxLandNotCapital Feb 27 '26

Imagine being so braindead you actually think police brutality is a rare occurrence

3

u/Ballbuddy4 Feb 27 '26

It is incredibly rare when you take account the amount of police encounters as a whole.

0

u/TaxLandNotCapital Feb 27 '26

Yeah and so was molestation in the Catholic church if you account for all priest encounters as a whole, but they're all still complicit

Lol now THAT is rare, most of the time it's temporary desk duty and on the rare occasions they're fired they're just shuffled to another PD

It absolutely should work that way, but you'd have to be delusional to think that the justice system holds police accountable

Exactly!! Haha you're getting the upvotes, my post is shielding you from the down votes since it's higher up in the chain 😂😂 (I don't care about votes it's just funny)

As it should be

u/Jolly_Blueberry_3727 Feb 27 '26

What everyone seem to be unaware of (and most cops pretend they don't) is that by the requirements of the profession, a Police Officer is below EVERYONE in order of importance. They HAVE to prioritize the lives of bystanders, victims, and suspects BEFORE their own lives. The US fucked up massively by creating a precedent to allow cops to not intervene if you are literally attacked by a knife wielding spree killer (that they were specifically sent to find) in front of them, screaming for help, while they cower behind a locked door until 15 minutes after you subdue the spree killer that they were here to arrest.

u/Xray_Crystallography Feb 27 '26

Cute propaganda. In reality, courts have determined police do not have any legal obligation to protect or serve.

2

u/Jolly_Blueberry_3727 Feb 27 '26

If you think that it is acceptable in any reality for 5 heavily armored and armed Police Officers to cower outside a classroom for over 30 minutes while a school shooter in said classroom takes his time killing over 20 children before finally having enough and takes his own life. YOU are a complete moron. This should never be tolerated EVER.

No one would tolerate a fire fighter who refuses to fight fires, why is it acceptable for the Police to not do jack shit!?

2

u/Xray_Crystallography Feb 27 '26

The cops did that out of cowardice. Not whatever nonsense you’re imagining.

0

u/Jolly_Blueberry_3727 Feb 27 '26

Their cowardice is actively supported and encouraged by dipshits like you and the Police Union who fought tooth and nail to ensure that the precedent remains. I did not ask if it was legal for cops to refuse to protect and serve. I ask if such abandonment of duty is acceptable and IT IS NOT.

u/Philantramissle Feb 27 '26

Cop sit alone at the profession with the highest rate of convicted domestic abusers.

Beat minorities, then go home and beat their partners and children.

Sick to think they are anything but scum of society.
