  • Ah. So it’s basically a “guilty by association” type of argument. Despite doing everything in your power to be a good cop, by being employed by the same place that employs a bad cop/bad cops, you’re a bad cop.

    I… have mixed feelings. I could have some bias because my brother is to study at the university to become a cop. He’s a humble, standup guy. Again, possible bias, and it’s anecdotal, but I didn’t think ACAB before learning he was to study to become a cop, either.

    It just doesn’t make sense to me that everyone that looks to become a cop is that type of power hungry snake/murderer that you sometimes see in videos. Some people just want to serve and protect their community. Some just want the excitement of booking bad guys. Some have their own unique reason for becoming a cop. And some seek an outlet to exert power over innocent people. But not everyone, I just can’t believe that.

    I guess it boils down to a definition of “bad” in the end? To me, it feels unjust to treat all cops the same just because they are all cops. Bad apples should be treated as bad apples, and good ones as good apples. In the end, the good apples are fighting a good fight IMO, and people in all lines of work sometimes have to work alongside people doing less good than them, or just straight up evil.



  • Same, dude. I was about to say, I’d hang with all of these people in an open space office. Seems like a perfectly okay group. Wallace might… have some generational gaps in the conversation department. But only might. He might be totally cool.

    Ya gotta be able to talk with almost anyone, right? Be nice and act interested by asking some basic questions, and we might actually become interested once we get to know someone.

    God knows it doesn’t always pan out that way – some people are just boring af – but… At least we tried, hey.





  • Coming from northern Europe, we are usually surprised to see so many smokers when we vacation in the more southern parts of Europe. It used to be common here too, growing up in the 90s. But it just stopped. Very rarely do I see anyone with a cigarette, even outdoors. Cigarette butts are a rare find on the ground.

    I’m happy about it. I hate smoking. But the snuff pandemic has to stop too. Many of my friends use it, and have for decades. I don’t understand why people don’t just choose not to put toxins in their body. So stupid. And they even pay to do it, too. A significant amount of money. So mf dumb.
