minus-square@TimewornTraveler@lemm.eelinkfedilink38•10 months agothat’s not a job, some people are just Assigned Cop At Birth
minus-square@dom@lemmy.calinkfedilink20•10 months agoThey don’t take it seriously enough. They go play army man.
minus-square@intensely_human@lemm.eelinkfedilink12•10 months agoPlaying army would mean keeping their cool in hostile territory.
minus-square@abuttandahalf@lemmy.mllinkfedilink14•10 months agoActually it means raping brutalizing and killing civilians in territory where you are not welcome
minus-square@Okokimup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•10 months agoI was thinking more that the general population takes them too seriously.
minus-square@dom@lemmy.calinkfedilink2•edit-210 months agoI disagree. They have the ability to kill people with little repurcussion
minus-square@Okokimup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•10 months agoAnd yet people thank them for their “service” and put “thin blue line” flags in their yards. That is the kind of “too seriously” I am referring to.
minus-square@dom@lemmy.calinkfedilink3•10 months agoThat’s just cause those people buy into the delusion the cops have. But I agree with your overall point
minus-square@kernelle@lemm.eelinkfedilink5•10 months agoHonestly in my line of work I seriously considered Police, but when I noticed it’s essentially a cult I noped out of there
minus-square@kava@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•edit-210 months agothe problem with police is that the people who should work as a police officer don’t want to be a police officer the people that shouldn’t work as a police want to be a police officer I don’t think police is inherently a bad thing. It just happens to be because people who want power over others should not have power over others. similar story with politicians. I’d prefer an honest politician. but the process of picking them selects for those who are dishonest.
minus-square@kernelle@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•10 months agoExactly, couldn’t have worded it better. Obviously not all of them all of the time, but it is what it is
No one has said police yet?

the problem with police is that
the people who should work as a police officer don’t want to be a police officer
the people that shouldn’t work as a police want to be a police officer
