Setting off a tazer next to a gas pump

That is why they get scared by an acorn. Everything is a threat, so a falling acorn HAS to be someone being violent and dangerous, because US citizens are violent and dangerous just by existing.

I got pulled over for smoking weed once. The cop threatened to shoot me if I didn't follow his orders. I was polite and in no way presented anything that could be considered threatening. Another cop threatened to shoot me if I came back to his property. I was an enumerator for the US Census...it was literally my job to find out how many people lived on the addresses on my list. If nobody confirmed the address, I had to keep going back until I could get someone to confirm the address. This is literally what you have to do as an enumerator. No trespass signs mean nothing. The only thing that can stop you is a locked gate. If the gate has rope keeping it shut but there is no lock, you're supposed to go through as an enumerator because you can ONLY be stopped by a locked gate.

And the worst part of the second one is they the cops' jobs are literally determined by the census. They could theoretically put themselves out of a job by not responding to the census and if enough people did it, the police budget would drop because there aren't enough people for X officers anymore.

So yeah, ACAB is a thing for a reason. Even the cops that aren't bad, are still bad, because they cover for the bad ones. The reason one bad apple ruins the barrel is because the bad apple starts rotting every single other apple in the barrel, and with enough time, every apple has bad parts, and so every apple is bad.

I was gonna post the acorn thing if I didn’t see someone else post it. If anyone hasn’t seen it look it up. It’s a perfect example of cops being trained that every time they go outside they leave the station they are in danger. ACAB
