From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't mind being called a bootlicker. Police have saved my life before, and they've saved the lives of people I deeply care about. I have also seen policemen, who have helped peoplle out get attacked. I genuinely hope you are never put in a poosition where police have to save your life, But if they do one day, I hope you'll change your mind.
I've been held at gun point three times in my life.
Every time I was not doing anything illegal or even suspicious. I am white, not that that should make a difference, but we all know it does. EDIT: to be clear, I'm saying cops are racist, and unjustly target minorities.
Each of those three times the person holding the gun was a power tripping asshole cop.
I have been in several dangerous situations where a cop happened by, and just kept on going.
I already live in a world where the police will not be there for me when I need them, and they solely present a danger with no benefit.
You want to see people that are truly guided by a desire to help people? Go to a fire station or a hospital. Cops are not heroes, just assholes that want power over others.
Some are yes, but the overall majority are not. A lot of this comes down to demographic location.
When they don't self report the ones that are bad, they become bad.
How is that concept difficult for you?
no way! sherlock, are you going to tell me that water exists next? holy you people watch too many movies. I don't know if you live inner city in some crap us state, or some slum in some third world country but no fucking duh.
Even in the states, cops get reported all the time, the vast majority of times I hear of when cops do get reported and no real disciplinary action is performed, is almost always because it's some crappy city where the police literally can't find anyone to replace them. This is why things like transparency in the process are needed. But lets pretend for a second that most cops in the world are these corrupt maniacs that hollywood likes to make them out to be.
3 really bloody easy steps literally any crappy US state or really any state/country whatever in general could take right now would completely resolve this issue.
But no. we can't do this. Because guess what, politicians, democrats and republicans alike for US folk are all greedy assholes who benefit from division. Everyone want's to scream defund the police, or treat the police as some overarching messiahs and either get rid of them wholly, or let them act with impunity. It wouldn't even cost that much money to do the first two points which are the most important ones.
