The first time I saw one of these was at a Fourth of July gathering in a public park. I saw the high blue lights and I figured it was marking some kind of portable police resource center. I had imagined some basic first aid and some officers ready for emergency assistance. I had imagined something that was partly a service and partly community outreach. I had imagined something with positive features.
I was so disappointed to find out it was just cameras. Quite an emotional trip in my head there, from "We're here to help!" to "We're watching you, fuckers" in the space of a moment.
But I guess the cops in my suburb are no better than the cops in any other suburb.
"We’re here to help!” and "cops" in the same thought is wild lol
Sometimes the first thought is what the propaganda you grew up with said
We're here to help "property owners and wealthy people".
This. This attitude right here. Stop it.
ACAB.
AAAR
Is this your bootlicking pirate impression or ?
What? That cops are dangerous? They are. Your chances of dying go way up whenever you are in the presence of a cop. That's why I vacate the premises whenever one walks in. You never know if he just got chewed out by his wife, or his boss, or someone else, and he's looking for someone to take it out on.
Nothing good can come out of being in the presence of a cop.
"This. This attitude right here. Stop it."
Yeah, so long as the police system in the US is corrupt as hell and intent on militarization and spying on the population: lol no.
Fuck the police
Wait, stop the attitude of thinking can't help, or stop the attitude of thinking cops can?
No cop wants to help anyone but himself.
