No, the police are not “murdering people for fun.” The cops ARE shooting people when it’s not justified, and getting away with it. The way you’re describing it is like it’s out of a movie or something. You’re literally ingesting all of the bad news that props up the 24hr news cycle and assuming real life is like an episode of Daredevil or something.
See, this puts me in the shitty position of actually having to defend the cops, which I will not do (because All Cops Are Bastards.) But I will say cops do not just blow people away “for the fun of it.” That is simply not true.
And you know what else they don’t do? Come to your house with a van, drag you outside, and kill you via lethal injection so your ogans can be harvested and sold on the black market. No, this evil thing is not “done worse by America.” This is real life, not a movie.
I’m most familiar with LA’s history of police gangs, but my understanding is they are not a total outlier. If anything, movies consistently downplay just how bad our police actually are, even when they take a critical stance on them. The copaganda is so pervasive that even people who dislike cops underestimate just how dire things are.
It’s really upsetting that you’re basically denying the lived reality of so many marginalized groups. I’ve met people who refuse to say ACAB that are less ignorant about our cops than you.
