(65,616 posts)That is why you are so confused from their lack of shame and empathy - there is none. As far as the cop unions/leaders are concerned, questioning authority is equivalent to overthrowing authority. There you have it.
This is exactly what some talk about when the say America is a police state. And that authoritarian view is shared by the power structure which sometimes issues immunity for obvious negligent homicide by officers. Which seems to be SOP for some of the militarized PDs, if for no other reason - simply because they know they can get away with it. Sad but true.
Just because you know you can murder someone, doesn't mean you should. It means you have to wield that power with great responsibility and convictions. Which some do, but the ones that don't (rotten apples) - get away with it. Mostly.
I don't buy this 'police are perfect and never cause any harm' bullshit meme and nobody should either. Accountability and transparency...looks like cops don't like those things just like politicians and big wig executives.
Okay we don't live in a police state, we live in an 'authoritarian-vulture capitalist system run by plutocrats that own the public works.'
Happy now?
This next part will probably get a hide, but I just don't care anymore;
And the white cops that hee haw at the rabble...guess what fella...you are just insignificant minions, you see how vets get treated after they come back from Iraq missing two legs...you really think the same group give a fuck about you too? I hope they realize that some day. They look at themselves as modern day Robin Hood, when in fact they are behaving like the Sheriff of Nottingham. They let the RWing white hate machine charge their battery up so much that a few end up killing those scary black men. Opps...that society...thugs...never was a good one...looked dangerous...acted funny...etc..
Racist cops make this entire country suck hard. They represent the RWing ideology of busting skulls and segregation of race. Of course there is no way to prove RWing asshole cops are the only ones on the take...but I would bet an old wheat penny on the proportion of them LOVING Rush and Glenn and Hannity and instantly fearing the black man and feeling safer aiming a gun at his chest.
The way Bill O' Reilly fears the black man.

"Discussing his recent dinner with Rev. Al Sharpton at the Harlem restaurant Sylvia's, Bill O'Reilly reported that he "couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship." O'Reilly added: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.' "
Stand out there and picket you dumb fuck white assholes, keep that dumb fuck grin on your face and wear your hatred on your clothes and on your wrist.
