I absolutely hate cops. 9/10ths of them are worthless lowlifes who wanted an easy civil service job where they could carry guns and push people around with no consequences. The 1/10th of them that are good dont interact with the public for the most part because they are actually doing important work- catching rapists murderers, etc.
Cops absolutely target minorities, no ifs ands or buts. For anyone who lives in a major city and has been locked up in central bookings or otherwise, it is honestly mind boggling how many blacks are in jail for crimes that are so absurdly meaningless its pathetic. Granted, black people commit more crimes in the United States- That is a fact. However, some are blatantly picked on to boost arrest statistics, to make the pigs look good or just to fuck with them for no reason.
This guy got arrested in Cambridge Mass!!! If aliens landed on this planet and wanted to find the most progressive dick pimple they could find, they'd probably land there or in San Fran. And guess what? Orders are orders. Cops have to follow procedure; No common sense, no intelligence, no second guessing.
In a small way I do feel bad for them though. If they arrest a black for no reason, they get called racists. If they let a black go who commits crime on their watch, then they are incompetent. Either way-- Screw the cops.
