One Thing I Think The #Ifwewerepraisedlikecops hashtag misses

is that modern police forces were formed to break strikes and catch runaway slaves.  They aren’t praised for “doing their real job for once” it’s more like “local murderer chose to spare this adorable baby after murdering their entire family, what a nice guy”.  

Terror and murder are literally their job.  They are fulfilling their expected function.  Murderous racist cops aren’t aberrant or “breaking the rules”.  Those are the rules.  The rules are bad.  They’re functioning as intended and that is horrific.

Police Have a Much Bigger Domestic-Abuse Problem Than the NFL Does

Police are significantly worse than the problems they’re supposed to solve

They’ve had falling solve rates for ages

One Third Of Murders Go Unsolved

They are ineffectual at preventing crime.

The system is racist and classist as fuck and people who can’t afford lawyers are imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit

Don’t demean cops. Bad cops are the extreme cases and should rot but cops do a shit ton too. It’s easy for someone to shit on cops but the second you need them you’re all praises and such. Don’t demean public servants in general thanks ✌

I have needed them for what they’ve been supposed to do multiple times, my home and my business have been robbed, I am a survivor of rape and domestic violence, and as I mentioned before had a man expose himself to me in public and despite calling the cops in those situations THEY DID NOTHING.  

They do nothing to solve or prevent crime in my experience, if they ever solve a case it is solely by chance, because they don’t give a flying fuck.

All cops are good for is protecting the interests of the already powerful and brutalizing poor people and POC, and so once more for the people in the back, FUCK COPS.

They aren’t public servants, they’re perioeci protecting the upper class from the helots and don’t you fucking forget it.

There is no such thing as a good police force.  I want police abolished, not reformed abolished.

I Feel Like Black People Should Be Given A Tax Refund on The Portion Of Their Taxes That Would Have Gone To Police Salaries

Because I don’t think “guy who might kill you or one of your family members” is a service people should be asked to pay for.  

I wouldn’t buy that service, it’s a terrible service (frankly they also don’t do a lick of actual work solving actual crimes either, useless bastards)  Like it’s not fair that that even exists, and it’s just a fucking insult to force people to pay for it.

If I get elected to city council when I run, I will propose a “No paying to potentially be murdered” bill.
