Like statistically the cops actually help in any of those situations.
And like the police aren’t the biggest thieves out there.
Any good cop left on the force knows all about this shit, calling into question how 'good' they are.
The police say the same thing about everyone who isn't them. "Fuck 'em". And that's exactly how I feel whenever I hear anything bad happening to them.
They're all guilty. Shutter the doors, fire them all and hire from a different psych profile, barring the current one, forevermore.
I am in the most dangerous for my life when I am in the presence of a cop, plain and simple, no context needed. These are stats. Facts not feelings. Since 2000 the police have stolen more from the public thru civil asset forfeiture than all other crime combined.
All cops are bad. All. Complicity is condoning. Criminals have invaded and took over the civic institution. Acknowledgement of this isn't a call for social anarchy. Acknowledgement of this is recognizing that anarchy is already here. The law applied unequally deserves no respect. Those on the top know they'll never see a cell. Those on the bottom know they will no matter their innocence, and that's a best case scenario. No respect is warrented. The lack of respect is entirely earned.
Ban them from public positions and office. Seize their pensions to pay a pittance towards restitution. They broke the public trust, I am not responsible for their public disdain. No one ever wrote a song called 'Fuck the firefighters'. Fuck 'em.
While I agree with your overall point, this song does in fact exist FYI.
Aw shit. Now I gotta go find this bitch.
I had heard of it but not listened to it.
Now I have.
It appears to also be an anti-cop song, just by metaphor. 😂😂 Sorry cops.

Not too mention that cops in the US got their start as the militant wing of the capitalist class, enforcing property rights for rich slave owners. ACAB. If they weren't, they'd have chosen a different profession.
They're a criminal gang. They murder, they rape, they steal and they even drug traffic.
They're a criminal gang that holds cities hostage by telling them they can't live without them.
Not just thievery. They commit more rape, murder, and assault than anyone else as well, the statistics are self reported so what we know about is only the tip of the iceberg
