Why should kids be taught to hate the police? Because there are 2.3 million people in jail in the US right now and every single one was put there by a fucking cop. Some people talk about good cops and bad cops, but a good cop, a cop doing their job properly, still puts nonviolent drug users in jail for many years, totally ruining their lives as they lose their jobs, houses, cars, romantic partners, access to college, and become substantially less employable upon release. A cop doing their job properly still gives homeless people tickets for vagrancy which they obviously can’t pay and when a warrant is issued as a result an officer doing their job properly arrests those homeless people. An officer doing their job properly pepper sprays and arrests environmental protesters so that logging companies can clear-cut old growth forests. An officer doing their job properly is evicting a family from their home as you read this because the parents’ jobs were shipped overseas so that the bosses could make eight figures a year instead of seven. Those people will become homeless, vagrancy tickets will be written, warrants will be issued… And then there’s the “bad ones”

In my opinion, there are cops that do their job to support their families. They follow orders. Then theres cops that abuse their power and do way too much. I understand all of the unfortunate instances that occur in our country, but there are things we can do to prevent ourselves from being in those situations.

Cops don't put ppl in prison, the unjust laws do bruh...  they just enforce them.  There are good cops and there are bad cops, for the most part the overwhelming majority of them are fair but there are a good number of dudes who just wanna power trip and abuse their position.  From my experience, most of the people hating cops are ones doing wrong...  It's a complex topic with many different angles...
