To protect cops*
To which question?
Crooked cop
It's not really specifically for crooked cops.
It’s part of what they do
Protect cops? Yep.
I’m sure they donte to the homeless also
Does that mean crooked cops? Sometimes!
But they are also crooked cop protecting group
Like the Catholic Church protects pedos
Well we don't know if they're crooked or biased.
They also feed the poor
The crooked politicians in LA? $130,000 8x8 rip off home for the homeless.
And protect pedos
I agree that police unions are almost universally bad.
But I don't have a hyper-partisan opinion about it.
I don't think "ACAB".
Does that include teachers?
You're not for teachers unions?
No
What
Government enforcement
Military etc
Politicians
People with actual power over others
Judges
Schools have become like institutional facilities themselves.
Teachers have power over kids.
Kids are not adults
Point-by-Point; Police reform is not the duty of Federal Government. You wanna bitch about doors getting shut, look to local and state level representatives. Also, nowhere near as many people as have been portrayed by media have died by cops, and although I'm not a fan of the immunity cops have when "in the line of duty", a large amount of those incidents were found to be justified.
Next; Yes large protests can be or have been hijacked by certain elements that are out to do bad things. You can pick out those groups in the protests where it happens. However, when you "protest" and the intent immediately turns into vandalizing, burning, damaging, and destroying other's personal property (think Kenosha), there is no excuse nor is there certain elements hijacking the protest.
Last; What Covid rules? As far as constitutions are concerned, these mandates and edicts are unconstitutional and unenforceable. People not following said "basic rules" are well within their right to not follow them as they aren't legitimate. And the GOP blocking aid money? Have you read what was in those aid packages? So much garbage that had nothing to do with actually providing aid to people affected by Covid.
They don’t even have fully formed brains
Organisational Behavior still comes down to Individuals.
What the law declares as justified is very... in question, for most of us here. That's a non-argument.
That's true. Which is why there are methods to challenge those laws that justify what *we* would see as questionable.
Yeah, but you're saying the media is blowing it out of proportion when it's mostly just relative to opinion.
Blowing the cop killings out of proportion you mean?
