He’s right about Ice being the American Gestapo (An immoral group that thrives on bigotry and hatred)

But claiming MOST cops are good when not even half of them are. (Even his most tantamount predecessor Alfred Hitchcock feared the police, and for good reason too.)

    Ehh, most individual cops I’ve interacted with have been completely decent (although there are several exceptions), but because there are systemic issues, it doesn’t matter how good the individuals are.

      “An individual cop can be decent. Cops are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”

      I certainly believe one can have that experience, but I’ve had several bad interactions with cops even as a white dude. Ranging from them being dismissive/rude dickheads, to one cop trying to start a fucking fight with me. I used to think most were decent until I had more than a couple bad interactions with them. I think the job just attracts overly aggressive/cocky pricks. You wanna believe that the motivation is normally improving society but I don’t think it usually is tbh.
