I would hate to be a cop right now. I can see how this is going to play out. Officers will be completely stressed out and paranoid from the protests, leading to more shootings. Then the idiots will protest. Then Police will walk off the job. Chaos will ensue, and ordinary citizens will be begging Police to return.
Happened in Sweden. When the cops feel like their govt doesn't have their backs, they tend to quit their jobs. Only in Sweden it was over islamic extremists, not racist twat extremists who think cops only kill Black people.

It's like when the referees went on strike in the NFL. Their replacements were so terrible that fans demanded them to return.
Might be a good eye opener for the totally clueless.

Would you feel better if we made it a crime to fail to adore every single cop in the land?

Tell you what, cupcake. I joined the military in 1978. In the wake of Vietnam, the military was still not at all a popular choice. Despite a poor economy (which usually favors recruitment), 1978 was the worst year for recruitment since the end of the draft.

Then I went overseas, to places where the military was widely despised, and the U.S. military even moreso. On one occasion I got hit with eggs, on another with a paint bomb. I got cussed at and put down on a regular basis.

So I think I have some experiential basis to say. . . If you can't maintain your shit and follow procedure because somebody doesn't like you, you shouldn't have power over anything but a broom and a mop.

I hear the mall is hiring security guards and janitors if being a cop is too hard on your fragile little ego.

I bet you just loved being pelted with rotten eggs and never once thought of retaliation.

Its been like that for 20 years. There is a high turnover rate.

Phuck the police phuck, phuck the police
And then goes on to play a cop on TV, go figure
So. . . if a performer does an anti-police performance, then does a performance as a police officer, that's bad?

Boy howdy, all those actors who played lawmen in Westerns and cop movies, and played bad guys in other movies must really have you OUTRAGED!

Like Al Pacino, playing a Mafia boss in a movie (in which he actually murdered an NYPD captain), then playing NYPD detective Frank Serpico. Must just make your blood boil!

No? Why not?

Oh, right. Melanin.

The funny part is, now that I've clearly established that you have no difficulty with it whatever when a White performer does it, but get your knickers in a twist when a Black performer does it, you'll still deny with your dying breath that you apply different rules to White people and Black people.
