And that mistrust is heightened when blacks see the cops cozily up with white vigilantism and extremist racist groups. Amazing that people can't recognize an old Jim Crow alliance springing up again and understand why some blacks are arming themselves like the old Black Panthers of the sixties. Not for armed resistance considering what happened to the last minority who did so, but there it is.
Damn this dude’s kid’s kids would be locked up if we did generational punishment anymore.

More than two dozen cops have been shot thus far in 2022. Yeah, they are the problem, huh?
Almost every job comes with its perils.Quote:

Let's face it, cops are a lot of times dealing with the scum of the earth in society. I know I couldn't have done it. And now with many in society really hating cops and the lack of support for them in the leadership of cities and communities, who'd want the job?
Many don't hate the police just because they want them to be held accountable for their actions when they are wrong. But continue your bs because it is more divisionary, suit your rant, FOX's rating and ignore this problem until it blow up again and your dumb arse will, once again, wonder what is wrong with those people.
So many level of stupidity.
When did the narrative change from “the majority of police will never use their firearm in their careers” to “they are possibly facing someone who wants to kill them for every stop”?Quote:

I don't know we have the numbers for 2022. But roughly 75% of cops in 2021 were killed by COVID while all other things killed only 25% of cops.Quote:

I don't care to be their friend. But I think that it is just a smart idea to obey what they tell me to do and not to challenge their authority. They have a job that I would not want ever. More and more cops are getting shot at, hurt, and/or killed in this country.Quote:

Cop stops a car for speeding or something. Cops goes to the driver's side. Guy rolls down the window and shoots the cop. That is a scenario that happens regularly.Quote:

Well Police deaths aren’t abnormally high the past 20 years historically:Quote:

But I do always get a kick out of people saying we shouldn’t just get the vaccine because the government says so but then says we should obey cops without question.
What do you mean happens regularly? It rarely happens.Quote:

It did happen last week on "Blue Blood". Mom watch it. Maybe he got confused.
Cop deaths from shootings are up a ton this monthQuote:
