ACAB holy fuck.
If my boss told me at my job, I had to attack genocide protesters or I would be fired, I think I would rip out his jugular with my teeth and then quit
To be fair, cops have no other marketable skills, so rage quitting has more serious consequences than for normal people with transferable skills.
quit your jobs then???
When confronted by protestors, do a 180, grab a sign, and join them. You were a human once upon a time. If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
They can literally not do it...
Cops have an insane amount of power because they can just not do their job whenever they feel like it
I doubt it's that easy. There will be disciplinary systems. And if they quit, I'm sure the govt will find people with fewer morals to take their place.
So stop doing it then you fuckwits
“Just following orders” you say? You could choose not to do it. You could choose to not participate in injustice. What you are doing is bad and you should feel bad for doing it.
Not a good policy for police to choose what laws to enforce.
I take it you have some kind of experience of reporting a burglary and having them follow it up at all then?
That's more inability than unwillingness.
The whole point of protesting is visibility. The whole point of burglary is invisibility.
They should be more like the Italian dock workers.
Then they should refuse to do it, and make the police force go through the trouble of firing them.
This. Right here. Don't make it easy on the brass by quitting
Resign, pigs.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
