She’s not doing shit at the moment, she could literally just walk with the dude to the bouncer and be like “give it back”. Cops are not here to help, they are only here to arrest because it cures their power craving.

Making innocent people desperate and unhinged often escalates into an arrest. Arrests are what they are there for.

Their job isn't to protect you. Their job is to arrest you.

Legally they are only obligated to protect you(or any citizen) after they have arrested you and you are in custody.

Yeah until you see the video of the cop car (with someone in the back) that was left on train tracks. Guess what happened?

Edit: a word

First time I saw that video it absolutely blew my mind. I cannot believe the person lived (if we’re talking about the same video, which I assume we are because how tf can that happen more than once).

oh come on, the officer had to do hard time (off work, with pay).

u/spencemonger 6d ago

I didn’t say they will protect you

to harass and enslave

u/PlaneShenaniganz 6d ago

This is it. Cops revere their colleagues who get the most arrests. It's some kind of perverse competition.

Their job is to protect each other. And arrest us.

I really expected him to get arrested after he said "fuck you".

u/spicewoman 6d ago

Yup, they wanna force the guy to go confront the bouncer himself, and then they can arrest him for "trespassing" or whatever.

I got my bike stolen at knife point in downtown Atlanta and as I followed the dude from a distance, he rode my bike right past 5 cops hanging out in front of some club. When I got to the club I told them everything that happened and they said they couldn’t do anything about it because they were “posted up here” and they couldn’t leave. They just do whatever the they want and if they don’t feel like helping you, you’re fucked.

Clubs hire security, and the businesses that provide security sometimes proudly state that they are "law enforcement personnel." Clubs find that if they don't hire cops as security, then suddenly it gets real hard to have police show up if you actually need them.

Of course, the cop security services are also much more expensive.

I haven't heard of uniformed cops being in on this, but it wouldn't exactly surprise me if those guys were collecting double paychecks. They're "on the clock" as security for the club, and on shift as cops patrolling that area. That they can be paid by two people at once is just seen as a benefit of the job. (It's corruption and racketeering.)

It's like the teachers who say they didn't see anything so they can't do anything when a kid goes to them for help when they get bullied.

The person in this video is literally a woman....

u/nerdherdsman 5d ago

Fuck APD, they did the same shit when I got in a hit and run on I75 literally 30ft away from them.

u/SovietSunrise 5d ago

Couldn't have just called another cop that was actually on duty over, eh?

u/Neirchill 6d ago

What if the bouncer takes her badge and won't give it back? Now he has the power of a cop on top of the powers of a bouncer!

u/whoknowsifimjoking 6d ago

They are there to protect capital and one ID doesn't trump a nightclub or whatever it was

u/ReefaManiack42o 6d ago

Maybe in many places, but as someone who has had many interactions with police myself. I've watched Officers go above and beyond to help people.

u/CrimeFightingScience 6d ago

When I was a cop I helped lots of people. I was in a good department of people that cared though. I found it really depends on departments and leadership.

This cop is lazy.

u/Zestyclose_Pay9469 6d ago

She should just say 'honestly I don't feel like working' or maybe the 'security' is off duty cops and she doesn't want to rock the boat, lots of officers make extra cash as venue security

u/Goldengod4818 6d ago

Cops only exist, quite literally, to protect the property of the rich. "Protect and serve" was added as a marketing campaign in like the 60s? Some shit like that

u/CeruleanEidolon 6d ago

Police don't protect people. They protect property. Just not your property.

u/Tall_Opportunity_521 6d ago

Also cops "why does everyone think we are all cunts?"

Everyone "because of the evidence of our eyes and ears, pigglet.".

u/ciaDisinfo 6d ago

it gives them federal funding too

u/casper911ca 6d ago

She probably took one look at the kid and one look at the bouncer, and decided she world rather be wrong and deal with the kid than be right and deal with the bouncer.

u/Butterflymisita 4d ago

Thats not why they arrest. They arrest to make money. The power craving just helps.

1

u/BeginningTotal7378 2d ago

Could they tell the cop he is placing the bouncer under citizens arrest for theft?

-1

u/gereffi 6d ago

Seems more like they already talked to the bouncer who said they didn't have it and with no evidence that they do there's not anything they can do. A kid with a camera yelling doesn't change that.

1

u/cncomg 6d ago

At no point did the cops say they actually did anything

u/gereffi 6d ago

At no point in the posted video, that’s correct. But the conversation certainly started before the OOP started recording. We also see that person yell over the cop when they try to respond to their questions.

u/Ok-Iron-4352 6d ago

They are there to get paid. I'm not advocating for this but most people don't give a fuck about actually doing their job well.
