In reply to the discussion: Police Investigating Shooting Inside Seattle's 'No Cop,' CHAZ Zone [View all]PTWB
(4,131 posts)13. No, pretty much all the police are bad.
While it is true that a very small percentage of police plant evidence, beat suspects, shoot unarmed black men or engage in overt racism... what is also true is that all the 'good apples' sit around and protect those bad ones. That makes them just as evil.
Look at the entire fucking SWAT team in Buffalo, NY that resigned in solidarity with the officers who pushed the old man down.
Nope, ALL the police have to go. Completely eliminate the concept of policing in America. Fire every last officer, eliminate police departments entirely and create a new system that is community oriented and led by civilians.

All the police arent bad. Reform is a big step, and could involve experienced cops

Your acknowledgement of the existence of bad cops is essentially conceding that I'm right
