Keep in mind that the PPB of 2020 is basically nonexistent. There’s been massive turnover and hiring since then. Ask yourself who are the type of people who would willingly join after all of the Summer of 2020 protests. And the city HATED cops in the wake of that. It makes sense the new recruits would be people who believed in changing the system from within. At least, that’s my optimistic view overall.

I’ve been super impressed with chief Day’s eloquence and rising to meet the moment, and being a leader.

Totally real and not fedposting

Just think! Who could possibly want to be a cop after all of that?!?

Here, ladies and gents, is the exact type of liberal that has been laundering cruelty for our fascist overlords. There’s many types of liberals, this is the most prominent and influential type of lib. Unwitting accomplice or not, this is a powerful grade A dumbass that has been fucking us all over

How does someone actually ask this question and then not immediately think of Derek Chauvin and all the other complicit officers? Do they actually think that was just a fluke and that >99% of cops wouldn't have been running up to help him or standing by complicit themselves?

Ask yourself this question that I made up to rationalize my own, incredibly stupid and naive beliefs. It made me feel a lot better.

the PPB of 2020

Yeah, what kind of person could possibly want to be a cop after it was repeatedly shown that despite massive public outcry, the only consequence they'd face for their many violent abuses of power was getting more money and more power? Surely only the best and noblest of us!

The PPB^[lmao] has 800 officers compared to Boston's 2,7000, despite both being cities of ~600,000. Looks like bullying works.
