Actually I think people advocating for better policing instead of just deepthroating “cops good” makes the problem better.
Where did I ‘deep throat cops good’? You are sensitive and over reacting to a simple utterance and appreciation that cops are both good and bad. All people, all things, are some mix of good and bad and various ratios.
The solution is simple, if you want people to respect police, the police need to become respectable. As it stands they can abuse you with near impunity, so they get fear and disdain.
This is the only thing you’ve said I’ve agreed with, but what exactly are you going to do about it? You ask why am I more concerned with the the fear and disdain; because it causes apathy. Apathy breeds indifference and/or hopelessness which doesn’t solve any problems but propagates it. You appear firmly in the apathetic camp, its whats wrong with this country and politics in general. I’m not pretending I have the solution but the first step to moving in any direction is appreciating the subtly of everything and stop pretending its all so simple as black and white.
Look buddy, you already demonstrated that you don’t know what you’re talking about when you say it’s cops’ job to protect people, I’m not interested in your apologia about why people are being too mean to poor ol cops.
If you join Team I Can Hurt You And Get Away With It, don’t be surprised when people treat you like you could hurt them. Don’t like it? Change the team rules.
