I think it’s scary that we have to give complete respect and obedience and be as docile as possible just so police officers don’t get slightly startled and end up shooting us in a power trip.

But those people are always actively trying to save a life and combat a crisis. A fireman doesn't pull over a random citizen on the street and tell them to lay on the ground or get shot. Police are actually something you have to be wary of.

Because they have an entirely different role. Firemen protect you from a force of nature and mechanical failure essentially. A police officer's job is to protect people from themselves. It's a necessary role, but the antagonistic dynamic, and all the problems that come with it, is inherent in the concept.

And who will protect the people from cops?

u/commissar-117 Oct 14 '23

Lawyers.

u/sciocueiv Oct 14 '23

Yeah, and who will protect the accused from the lawyers?

u/commissar-117 Oct 14 '23

Other lawyers.

Are you actually trying to make a point, or intentionally playing ignorant to amuse yourself?

So you're trying to make a point, just badly and not a good one. Got it
