They’ve had over 100 years yo fix the system from the inside. If good cops ever existed, what have they done to stop shit like this from happening?
Fuck them all. There are no good cops when savages like these ones are allowed to do what they do. Every last one of them may as well be kindling for the fires of the revolution that’s coming.
Some kind of police is necessary. Public order needs to be kept, laws enforced, crime fought, dangers prevented. A state monopoly on violence is not a terrible idea and needs to be enforced somehow.
What kind of powers, tasks, oversight, and so on police gets is the issue.

Maybe it’s pedantic of me to say this but was not a state monopoly on violence and there certainly isn’t now. A lot of goon squads are composed of private security forces.
Yeah thats what im saying. A good cop is someone who realizes on the first day ‘oh. Oh that training makes a lot more sense now. I need every shower.’ And quits. Or dies in a training accident pretty quick.

There should be a state monopoly on violence, and that violence should be heavily regulated.
Sadly, neither of those statements are currently true.
