| Can't say about the police worldwide but at least in my country the police are fine, every time I've interacted with them, they have done their job well, no problem and I think the public opinion of the police in my country is that they are just people doing their job, not evil nor heroes. After BLM stuff there has been some people trying on purpose to make the police lose their minds and doing something that can't be justified any way, but so far everything the police have done to stop any of these people disturbing things have been by the book. So basically these people have tried to make the police look bad but instead have made themselves look bad. |

| I don't have a strong opinion for or against the police, but what I can say is that I'm happy they exist, otherwise I would feel a lot less safe in this world. |

| As a devout lolicon and a "person of color" with an astonishing metric of 1/8th African blood flowing through my very veins (my great grandma was a full-on "negro"; holy shit, plot twist amirite?!), they make me a tad uncomfortable, NGL. But I will say cops are definitely necessary in today's society (if all the violent riots and arson weren't already proof enough). I just think they need better training and should carry those video monitoring devices at all times to help them maintain "proper conduct". So, in other words, "REFUND THE POLICE!" |

| I liked the cops before 2020 and I like them even more after all the events that took place. |
 |
| Awesome. My friend from high school is in the lapd to. And he is an poor oppressed black man to. |
 |
| I want to fuck the police. (The female officers.) |
 |
| I have a rather favourable view of the police. Also, I recall having done a similar topic years ago: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1518987 Sadly, I can't recall in full what the deleted video was about. Some motorcycle control I think As for the video in the OP: even if the guy was an undercover agent, he acted very unprofessional by making a scene and then using swear words. He should have just been taken away and then filled a complaint or forwarded his report to his superiors in order to protect his identity The reason why there is so much police brutality, is because people struggle too much instead of complying with the arrest and trusting in the law system |
| can't pick multiple options sadly.. if you're a cop, you're a bitch. you're a glorified taxi that shuttle poor people to cages, and you have the right to use violence to get these poor people to the cages if you feel like it's necessary. don't worry about making any tiny mistakes like accidentally killing one or two of those poor people though, your homies got your back. you'll get a paid vacation and possibly get your ass moved to a new state, where you can start over. and if you happen to develop PTSD from killing an innocent person, like with phil brailsford, again, no need to worry. we will give you a special pension to make sure you're taken care of for the rest of your life. i do appreciate the bike cops who go around and check on homeless. i don't believe these guys even have guns on them a lot of the time. no problem with these guys. but the average beat cop? no respect. |
| meditate on bass weight. |
 This is how most people feel about the police here lol Tfw you don't know which poll option to vote for because all of them besides "heroes" applies. |
 |
| It always depends on who is controlling the police. If the dictator is good, the police is good as well. If the dictator is bad, the police is bad as well. Which is why it's always important to make it sure that a dictator is only allowed to govern a region small enough in order for it to be possible for the people to overthrow him in case he is bad, and this also requires the possibility of the people to own weapons at least as powerful as the ones owned by the police or the military. As long as the police is acting according to God's laws, the decent citizens will play the game and act as if they respect the artificial authority possessed by the police, but when decent citizens begin to be regarded as criminals by the state precisely for defending and trying to live according to God's laws because the people who are arbitrarily regulating the constitution mean to fight against God, then it's perfectly justifiable for the people to rebel against the established government, and, in this case, the dishonest ones who accuse the people of being criminals are the real wrongdoers who are acting against humanity. What I'm writing does not correspond to the whole situation involving the "Black Lives Matter" movement, since in the United States the police is really mostly on the right side nowadays, but this is not always the case. In Brazil, for example, the policemen that follow the orders coming from the vampires of the "supreme federal court" really do not deserve any respect at all, and the conservative victims should always resist arrest if they want to preserve their self-respect. |

| None of the above. They are fairly normal people trying their best to do their job right... Some of them will be heroes... Some of them will be bullies... And some of them will do nothing except eat donuts every day 😂 because there's hardly anything to do where they live. |

| None of the above. There are rotten apples on every aspect of every profession, judge a working-class that sometimes has to put their own lives before others is not really the best way to solve issues. |
''Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.'' |
| Nice poll options. Police aren't bad. They're just doing their job and some people love to be overdramatic and problematic for some internet views. Bad people exist in any job role, just as much as far, far more good ones do. 'Authority bad' is the cheapest excuse I have ever heard for someone not having the ability to commit crime unpunished. In short, ACAB is just filled with people thirsty for views and sympathy... I can't tell you how simple-minded it is to think that a whole group of people behave in a certain way. |
 |
| Nice options don't know haven't really interacted with one |
| I only ever interacted with a cop twice or thrice all my life, but I'm of the opinion that the police force should invest in decent aftercare training for its officers. |
 |
What else can a cop do in this situation? After repeatedly telling the dude to drop off the weapon lol it's easy to criticize the popo without putting ourselves in their position, I'd have done the exact same thing to protect my own life. |

BannedAkko said: In this situation its totally justified. The problem is most times they kill someone who is unarmed. It depends on how we interpret "most times", is it 1 in 10 cases? 1 in 100? As well as what happens in each of those cases, if most of the cases are like the one I showcase then it is what it is. There's a lot of factors to consider. Strangely I don't see a lot of studies done on this particular subject.... would love to see more data so I know what's exactly going on instead of relying on fake news and propaganda All I now is that there's a very valid reason as to why American police is more jumpy than the rest of the world and there's a valid reason as to why American will never be able to stop their 2nd amendment |

| To be fair, Police are human beings and different minds of thinking. Some could be okay and some can act like ***hles. In general, when we think of police as the justice to prevent crime and catching the bad guys. Times have changed and some police can be racist or bias in some way |

BannedAkko said: Yes I agree that it's interesting to watch them escort VIPsThe cops I like the best are the ones that escort high profile people. Such a cool job. I would have aimed for that if I ever joined the police. Most likely I wouldn't have gotten that job though. This one is way more impressive: https://youtu.be/R1hEzWDMhaw?t=182 Or this: https://youtu.be/5mVH413xWNI?t=96 Also, I like fighter jet escorts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXiTWefqVEI |

I can't imagine doing stuff like this myself, but it's always impressive to watch well-trained people doing the change of guard or how the Japanese foreign minister was welcomed in pre-WW2 Germany Look at the happy faces of the women and the police at 2:46 onwards (pause at 2:49) |

| I understand that all cops aren't bad But the police honestly suck, I dont know anyone that feels safe with the police. I always felt uneasy with them and I dont break the law. Their job is to protect and serve but almost no one that I know ACTUALLY FEEL SAFE around them. But we need them doe |
| The thing is, competence is defined on the bad days, not the good days. If you don't fail the good days, then that is just the bare minimum. But on the bad days, being in a position of authority requires you to do the right thing. And if, as a cop, you never violate anyone's rights normally, but you don't step up when you're partner does or the department is standing up for the bad apples in the thin line of blue, and you're just there because everyone else is there, then you are still part of the problem. I don't know why no one understands this. Who cares how good the economy was before the pandemic? What's important is how the leaders respond in times of trouble that defines their mettle. And cops are no exception. Now we've all run into cops that are nice people, probably let you off with a warning, but when something goes wrong, we find that none of them stand up for you. That's what we find in the news with BLM. Probably none of the other 3 cops in the George Floyd incident would have caused a problem on their own, but what was important is that none of them stood up to Derek Chauvin. Just like none of the Buffalo police stood up to the police that shoved an old man; in fact, they all quit the team to stand in solidarity. Just like none of the police in Atlanta, Georgia defended Rayshard Brooks when he was shot in the back. Instead, they defended the actions of the "bad apples" every time. How can you call yourself one of the good guys if you stand up for the bad guys? Think back in high school, if a kid was rooting on the school bully but didn't beat anyone up himself, is he a good kid? No. He didn't cause the incident but he was an accomplice. He didn't report the bullying he covered for the bully. He didn't stop the bully, he cheered him on. Because it was the easy thing for him to do. These are not good apples. The full quote: A rotten apple spoils the bunch. |

| Where's the none of the above choice? Police were made to PROTECT us. Without them, you'd be wondering daily if that day's your last. Delusional af if you think that police should be defunded, too. BLM is just as equally as violent. If a few police are gonna represent the whole police force, why can't the BLM riots (which are 95% of all riots btw) represent the group itself? |

| Police are corrupt here not to say many are the minister's lackey reforms should be made but I won't ever neglect the fact that the police gave their life for. Capturing a terrorist |

| police do nothing but bad, all of them are corrupt since the system is corrupt I've never really been a fan of them before like blm and such since my father is very anti police. Plus my house was swatted for no reason and my dad had a gun pointed at his head, made me him more scared of cops. Cops are taught that criminals should be shot and they just shouldn't, cops aren't vigilantes, they are meant to take in a criminal, not kill them even if they did a fucking terrible crime.

They had no choice but to riot because that's the only way they would listen. MLK even said "A riot is the language of the unheard." |

| BLM in my country did not change anything for comparing the USA and France is outward stupid. That reminds me of Cédric Chouviat who was killed by the police in January this year when he was arrested as he was driving his scooter with his cellphone. He kept saying that he could not breathe... Sounds familiar? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/23/world/europe/Cedric-Chouviat-police-killing-france.html The police does not even have to shoot, they use chokeholds ("clefs d'étranglement"), prone restraints ("plaquage ventral"), etc. "Why the fuck would I join?" To me, this is the real question here. Why would a mentally sane man (or woman) want to join the police? That is, to choose to live in a daily life of violence, and be forced to participate in all kind of humiliations and morally challenging orders. Ever heard about what happens to the really peaceful protestors in France? About a hundred of them lost an eye during the "gilets jaunes" (yellow vests) protests. But officially, the police is not aiming at their heads or shooting at blank point with their blast-balls (LBD), that were sold to us during decades as "non-lethal" weapons, but are now merely "less-lethal". What a lovely expression! Less-lethal... this kind of Orwellian words never cease to amuse me. Yes, entering the police to beat up old people and fragile individuals who protest for their retirement pensions. Sounds about right. Of course, they accomplish all sorts of useful duties, like arresting killing terrorists after they committed their crimes. As if that changed anything about the previous issues. A very compelling argument indeed, that people keep repeating each time the police shoots a criminal. However, I do not think that policemen are really to blame most of the time, as they are simply doing their job to 1) protect the State 2) protect people. One would have to investigate in their training to understand why those violent arrests happen in the first place. Personally, I never had issues with the police, and I hope to never have to deal with them. I go for "a bunch of bullies". Be impolite with the policemen? Prepare yourself to be choked to death. |

| I have more thoughts on the institution of police forces than police collectively. It's not like they are all evil but it's not just "a few bad apples in the bunch" either it's all people that get either used by or corrupted by the system and outright psychopaths drawn to it because the position of authority and legal impunity they have. They don't have to be helpless tools in a system but they usually choose to be often either from apathy or ignorance. I don't know about elsewhere but police in various US states have no legal consequences for choosing not to arrest someone for a crime except usually murder. That's so much power to go against unjust laws and so few even use it instead opting for the "just following orders" "just doing my job" mentality and only letting fellow cops and friends off the hook. They also are being placed in roles they dont belong in such as part of the school system and the mental health system. Did you know if you call a suicide hotline in the US if you suggest you will hurt yourself they will track you down and send police over? The poor, mentally ill, and physically disabled get unjustly killed by police more than anyone it seems. Of course I appreciate certain roles they serve but to focus too much on that just brushes the issues aside. |
traed said: Considering police forces are a creation of the state to enforce punishment for violating its monopoly of violence and criminal laws are meant to restrict the state's right to punish (ius puniendi), criminal laws are the ones supposed to go against injustice, not the police force, which works for the institutional state and not for people. I don't know about elsewhere but police in various US states have no legal consequences for choosing not to arrest someone for a crime except usually murder. That's so much power to go against unjust laws and so few even use it instead opting for the "just following orders" "just doing my job" mentality and only letting fellow cops and friends off the hook. I don't know much about the US, but I'm sure the autonomy you mention isn't more than a pretty smokescreen, because that would defeat the police's purpose of enacting the state's rights and interests. The certainty of isonomic prosecution is a must for legal security, without which a rule of law state crumbles. |

Since about half and maybe a little more support blm, isn't it the will of the people then? |

Since about half and maybe a little more support blm, isn't it the will of the people then? Society doesn't revolve around protestors. That is not how the Government works, first of all the Federal gov't doesn't have control over State laws and Policing, and the elected government in the States and Federal government serve their voters. Multiple cities were significantly affected by the riots, so arguing that the riots have stopped, doesn't undo the problems caused by the protestors. Well democracy is about representing the many interests in society, so the idea that everyone people will agree with a specific idea is unlikely, however the party that gets the most supporters win elections and put their own elected officials into office, to do the policy of their voters. |
