There's endless reasons why the last decade+ has pushed me to being completely done with authority worship. Fuck you and your fucking badge. Fuck these pigs. If you're a cop, you should just fucking quit or drop dead. Fuck police. Fuck security. Fuck military. Fuck em all. Countless times we have seen this is a profession that seeks, attracts, and breeds the most vile pieces of scum.
If you're a cop or were a cop, go fuck yourself and fuck your precinct and fuck your family and fuck your friends.
I have never needed a cop in my entire life. I have never found myself in a situation where a cop would have helped. They HAVE however found themselves in MY life a handful of times making the interaction AS FUCKING NEEDLESSLY INTENSE AS POSSIBLE. I have never done drugs, don't drink, came from an affluent family, and got a degree and became a productive member of society and do not visually come off as any sort of minority or profiled group. Yet even I have personally witnessed how fucking aggressive cops are abojt ANY fucking interaction no matter how mundane, and I know countless people personally who have experienced far worse than I did.
Fuck the police. Every fucking one of them.
