As someone just out of quarantine, these hugs are getting me nervous...

Ok, I love the message here and it's extremely important, but WHERE ARE ALL THE MASKS?!

We needed this, thank you

Holy shit, this would be crazy normally. But so many people in the US are infected. This is heartbreaking. So many folk are going to die. :(

Thanks for posting a positive. I’m sharing. Please keep up the good work.

Don't kid yourself that this is the norm. Lot of good cops, but a lot of bad ones that are poorly trained. Fix the system!

It’s so good to see that some cops get it. Such a shame that it seems like the majority don’t.
glitterdemon
Please do your own research into these. Ive seen numerous examples alleging once the photo op ended, the tear gas came out.
thebigtexas
Thank you. Too many damn idiots out here looting and rioting as opportunistic assholes - and not moving forward towards resolve.
SincerelyYoursTheUserSub
Wholesome
boomsman
Please stop pushing these fake photo ops. The cops literally just tear gassed a black senator and tried to arrest a black FBI agent
Lurkernomore7
Thank you. These times are so stressful.

Agreed, this was very needed, thanks @OP

I really needed to see this after the last hour of scrolling.

Look out your front door at your normal neighborhood. This happening country wide but this is only on a few blocks total.
Shoutrr
it's nice and all, but the multiple fuck up that continue to happen is actually making their job more dangerous (i'm talking about the good
Shoutrr
ones, the others can die in a gutter), because when they are making a control (speeding or other mundane stuff), the one being controlled
Shoutrr
have a legitimate reason to fear for his life. and thus can take extreme action to protect himself, including shooting the cop. i'm pretty
Shoutrr
of so pretty sure there will be a recrudescence of officer being killed on duty in the months to come
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
I've seen worrying numbers of tweets about how 15-30 minutes after these photo ops, tear gas and rubber bullets start flying.
LordCommanderTomSnow
I think basically everywhere BUT Flint.
flickaflockafox
I was gonna say, how many of them did this then went back to their jobs and just did “what they were told.”
FrolickingFrolicking
and the hugs are like 0.0001% of cops. Far more are brutalizing, tear gassing, shooting rubber bullets, at people standing there. On camera.
SpoonOfDoom
Worst one I saw was some cops kneeling, but while they were doing that, they were putting on gas masks so they can start tear gassing.
Matty3D
That was in Montreal. FUCKING EMBARRASSING!
JohnnyDS60

Well are people trying to turn the protests into riots. And it seems like terrorist group ANTIFA are also showing up to burn cities.

radiradi
Antifa is not a terrorist group. It is just an ideology. It has no centralized leadership. It is not an organization.
digitiliad
Given how many terrorist groups operate, this is not a good argument, whatever Antifa is or isn't.
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
The tweets point towards the police as striking first - some include masks suddenly getting donned and barrages of gas attacks.
Domehammer
I wonder if that could be over reaction from Cops to rioting taking place in another area or the local Mayor ordering it to be done.
Renafoxtrot
Fuck off with the atifa BS. Cops turn it to riots by gassing peaceful protests. White supremacists looting shit.
Domehammer
The multi-racial white supremacists that Biden is bailing out of jail. Are no white supremacists.

K nazi. Go suck trumps dick some more.
FuturamaAndFallout
I don't want to get in this argument, but calling someone a nazi and telling them to felaciate the president isn't a reasonable argument.

Cops make the nice photos and then turn around with tear gas and riot gear an hour later

we've been the example. What the fuck you think the majority of the country has been doing most of the time since they were born ?
LokiShade
Well then, what the fuck are you going to do about it? Fuck all, that's what.
Renafoxtrot
Give me a reason to be. Cops are to held to a higher standard. They aren't showing that. Fuck off with us having to be better than them
LokiShade
Alright then, what the fuck else are you going to do about when you can't hide behind your anonymity? Are you going to fucking do something?
digitiliad
That's exactly how that works, though. All of us have to be better than that.
RaymondChoppard
I'm convinced that 97% or more of cops are good guys. The problem is this system can't get rid of the bad ones. And politics who use them.
danthe727man
Mayors need to hold police chiefs accountable after they hire them. But my guess is there is some union contract that neuters mayors.
Sassafrasquatch
40% of them are domestic abusers.
Link01
It's much closer to 97% are bad cops or condone bad cops which makes them just as bad.
caustickiwii
I made a comment defending you from some unreasonable responses, so I feel obligated to also point out that made up numbers aren't helpful.
Kougeru
Statistics say otherwise
JStengah
It's been known for years that white nationalists have been deliberately seeking work in police departments.
Jazzinall
I think that number is a little high
wahtdoyouwantfromme
And media would never show us these either thus increasing our "hatred" for cops more sadly
Kougeru
Lmao wut
CKnowles
"Not murder people" is too low a bar, we need better. Good guys arrest bad guys. That's the job. Do it. Why are good cops leaving it to us?
therealsarahconnor
And if the good ones speak out against the bad ones they’re breathing the “code of brotherhood” or some bs and get put on a desk job
Imjusthereforthecomments
The police unions are 100% corrupt, all the way down, either by action or inaction. Thin blue line my skinny Irish ass.
THEOTHERUPVOTEFAIRY
I dunno. If you have a whole dept of cops that knows Chauvin is a POS but doesn’t do anything. Then you might have a whole dept of POS cops.

deadandbloated
If you're also convinced that 97% of humans are good guys, then OK. But otherwise, it's naive to assume moral character based on employment.
deadandbloated
Once you accept cops are average folks, the way to ensure good behavior is training in deescalation and really robust accountability.
gdex86
What about all the good ones who don't report all the bad stuff because of the blue line?
RoryBlack1
Because if they do they either lose their lively hood or or get put in some backwater position in which they just resign. 1/2
RoryBlack1
The system makes it 3asy for corrupt police chiefs and the like to actively punish good cops who report the bad ones. 2/2

indigoroyalblue
The reason you can't is BECAUSE the 97% protect them.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
On NPR, heard about a study. 15% of police will always do the right thing, no matter what. 15% will do the expedient thing, right or wrong /
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
The remaining 70% will do whichever the person they're working with does, which they take as the norm. THAT'S what "police culture" is. /
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
*soapbox* This is why it is important to root out the 15% and emphasize what the right things to do is in a situation. This is training

Laughing all the way to the bank and walking away with our planet.
Asmudeus
It's less. I liked the article a ex-cop wrote. He said a insturctor told him 15% bad, 15% good, 70% can swing and he had the same experience
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
If you can swing toward bad then you are bad. So 85%.
deadandbloated
Yeah, that would match the rest of life. No reason to put cops on a pedestal - nor assume every last one is a bastard.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
I *just* made a comment about that!
Asmudeus
Yep, and? But it wasn't a study like you said afaik.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
I remember (could be wrong) that it was based on a study of 4300 experienced officers
Nicalanius
Well we are doing a great fucking job of catching these piece of shit cops on camera it seems
CKnowles
It's not as though we can know either way, is it?
ImHereFortheTittiesandKitties
Only recently
Whatwhatsomethingbutt
84% of cops have witnessed another cop use excessive force.
DoritoStyle
Cops who don’t stand up to bad are not great guys
UncleTwistyFresh
But they're not murderers. People are equating evil to indifference.
UncleTwistyFresh
Indifference or non participation to being just as bad as being the murderers i mean
whatpassesforclever
We don’t talk enough about it being a precinct level issue. A guess, but I’d bet ~95% of precincts are ~100% good, the rest, anything goes.
gdex86
Civil asset forfeiture is used nation wide. Stealing from citizens you detain but not charge is good some how?
whatpassesforclever
I was targeting racism/brutality, but hey, have any statistics that break down CAF by precinct or city or race?
faultysage
4 cops killed George Floyd. That's not a great hit rate for "97% good cops".
SvenskaApacheGermanMex73
NYC alone has around 40,000 police officers. Nationwide there are ove 18,000 depts for police, sheriff and highway patrol. So with that 1/2
SvenskaApacheGermanMex73
2/2 assumption of numbers I’d say the odds are there. Opinions may differ on the amount of good vs bad though
faultysage
So? Total numbers mean nothing. When the "good" cops just let all this shit happen they STOP BEING GOOD COPS!
SvenskaApacheGermanMex73
I’m not arguing the issue. I’m stating the numbers in the post and what was posted while still stating the % could off. Easy there scooter.
faultysage
You're saying nothing. Got it. Thanks for the input.
mandriarch
That's not how statistics works.
faultysage
Assuming a good cop would have stopped the application of force, what would the odds of 4 officers being bad cops be with a 97% good rate?
mandriarch
If I look at someone who has won the lottery multiple times what are the odds of winning the lottery? 1/2
mandriarch
(I want to be clear, I'm arguing about stats...I do think bad cops are rampant) 2/2
faultysage
So you agree it's highly unlikely that with a lot of good cops all 4 of them would be bad. Thanks for backing me up.
caustickiwii
I mean, the person you're responding too is being optimistic, but also you can't condition on "police who have publicly participated in
faultysage
I'm not. I'm conditioning on "In a random group of 4 police officers, none stopped the murder of a man in custody"
caustickiwii
Hmm. I see your point but I still think technically it's not a fair sample. You picked it because it's the center of national attention, and
caustickiwii
that's the case because of both Chauvin's actions, and the inaction of all three other guys. Again, I'm in agreement that the 97% number is
caustickiwii
extrajudicial murder" and then claim your sample is representative. That's not how statistics works.
PineappleEmailer
It's a little odd that all 4 of those cops were willing to commit extrajudicial murder though, isn't it?
caustickiwii
As I said, I completely agree that number of evil cops is waaaaay higher than 3%. My issue was only with the statistics argument.
