    Cops are allowed to break the law constantly and get off easy because politicians argue “no one will want to be a cop if we hold them accountable for their actions.”

    It’s the dumbest thought process one could have. Wouldn’t you want GOOD cops that follow laws instead of just people who know how to yell and shoot?

      No, politicians make shit up to cover the fact what they really want are cops that obey them regardless of the law. Because they know if cops enforced the law equally, they’d be arrested for corruption.

      No. They want loyalty to protect their needs. It has shit to do with protecting the people.

      Well they wouldn’t want to be politicians if they couldn’t be corrupt shits in it to line their own pockets and hurt people they dislike. Of course they don’t understand why someone would work for the goverment for any other reasons.
