Cops Are Cowards
One more of my older videos (this one from November of 2014) that I think deserves to be on Dtube. If you have any examples of "law enforcers" doing anything brave and heroic, feel free to post links in comments here. If, on the other hand, your experience tends to indicate that cops are mostly just bullies and cowards, feel free to share that, too. Let's do a little study to see how much cops in REALITY match cops on TV and in the movies.

Yes I remember one law enforcer doing anything brave:
Edward Snowden
But he really is the only one I guess.......
And look where that got him.
I don't know if it applies for brave, but at least they did the right thing. In the height of my youth and in the worst fight with my mother, I did go after her most precious belongings - I set her wardrobe on fire. I did put it out rather fast and the damage wasn't too bad, but I freaked her out and she called the cops. We got driven to the police station and a very empathic female officer sat down with us. In my country they have to press charges even if the victim doesn't want to in most cases. But instead of doing that she really talked it through with us. What was the problem, why did I go so far and so on. In the end she said "You know in some families small things happen and it breaks everything, while in other families big things happen but it doesn't change anything". And that was really the case. She solved our problem like a counselor even though that wasn't her job. I still have the highest respect for that.
That's encouraging, but it's also worth pointing out, she did the right thing by NOT being a "law enforcer"--in fact, by not even doing her "job"--but by being a decent human being instead. (And, like you said, that was good, but not brave.)
Maybe. But maybe she was a better law enforcer by seeing when to enforce and when to help. But lets not get philosophical ;)
They're all cowards since the ones who aren't bullies don't speak out against the ones who are, and the ones who are bullies cowardly hide behind their shiny, magical badge.
Excellent point Larken. I've never seen a video of a "good apple" arresting a "bad apple". I've never seen it in my life. I actually want to see it now, because I just lost like five degrees of faith in humanity lol
Power does strange things to people. Not good!
I saw a cop here in Baltimore take a bullet shielding a woman from from gunfire. This city is a damned warzone though. I am sure if you hate them, you get shitty service. Given that they are the street level arm of bad government here, they are prone to being shitty. I think the reality of the situation is that things end in violence, and the police are little od no better at weilding force than the violent criminals. Given the mentality, I assume cops are violent but hopefully well meaning. Solution: privatize the police. I would much rather just pay a few bucks for service when needed.
First of all, You are very entertaining :) :) :) i was just laughing the all time!!! second, unforgettably, you are right about cops being like the biggest ass hols!!! it actually feels like they have this sick competition WHO IS THE BIGGEST ASS HOLLL?!??!! And guess - They all win! :( :( :( i am sorry that you needed to deal with so much negativity in your life, its even worse when you are a lady :( But, you look very strong and positive laughing at them and that''s awesome!!! This is the first video of yours that i checked, i subscribed to your channel and will watch some more vids! Love your vibes :) !
Nice explanation. As long as police have the ability to conduct internal investigations of charges against officers alone, they are untrustworthy to me.
you are 100% right sir @larkenrose thank for post by police
Very interesting. I am from Scotland and what you are saying applies here too. I was being hassled in the street and on seeing a cop I asked for assistance. He asked for my details and on refusing and requesting him to help me he refused by saying that until I came to my senses and gave him all my details he would not help. It would appear that datamining is more important than protecting an individual who is in danger. God forbid they should involve themselves in a breach of the peace situation.
