76. They are more dangerous than the drug dealers around here, always have been
Sat May 11, 2013, 02:43 PM
May 2013

The dealers fuck with each other, the cops fuck with everyone and are above the law.

I think the people that think cops are their friends are wealthy and live in places where the cops work for them. I don't even know who they "work for" around here, they appear to dislike us all equally and love to show their power by assaulting people seemingly at random.

They do as they please, act like terrorists and are accountable to no one. They are never charged with the crimes they commit.
