Imagine being so butthurt over someone's opinions that you start making retarded and half-assed comments.
I've had good and bad interactions with police. I also had my car vandalized, but police didn't do anything because they couldn't. It got vandalized because I barely parked on the edge of a parking space in a relatively empty parking lot. I was pretty close to a designated space for cart stalls, so maybe that was what inspired the person to write "Asshole" on almost every window of my car. The point here is that I didn't whine like a bitch once police told me it would be nearly impossible to find whoever did it. I also didn't throw my brain out the window and say my interaction supports a conspiracy theory that the police protects the state, not the people.
Was I at fault for parking on the edge of a parking space? Yeah. Did my car deserve to get vandalized for that? No. Anyone with a brain should know it's hard to park with a big-ass car like mine, but most criminals don't have brains. Are the police your mommy? Are they there to wipe every tear off your face? No. Unless police actually see someone act, they probably won't do shit. They can't say without a doubt you're bluffing them. You're putting them in an awkward situation by coming to them in the first place. They'd have to figure out if you're actually a victim of the crime or not, and if you're not and they arrest the person you accused, that will lead to big trouble for the officers and a potential lawsuit against the police department. Even though something bad happened to me, there's something I could've done to prevent that. The same applies to you. Your car got vandalized? Hang out in better neighborhoods, or don't hang out at all. Your stuff got stolen? Hang out in places where it won't get stolen and find better ways to protect it. I just proposed one way to improve relations between the community and police. One that actually puts some responsibility on the community. Maybe you should consider it.
I grew up in the rough neighborhood of my town. To be honest, it wasn't that bad because I lived in an apartment complex away from most of the action and my town had a low crime rate anyways, but it wasn't ideal. I didn't hang out with anyone there. Being the only Asian there proved advantageous because our differences in culture made it harder for me to relate to all the white and black people there. I never understood the hood and rap culture, and I probably never will. I'm too lame and geeky for that, which also proved advantageous.
It took like three hours of hanging out with kids there to find trouble. Somehow, they learned of a fight a few blocks away, and most of them immediately ran to see the fight. I didn't go because I knew the police could've come and there was a chance I'd become a victim of the ensuing chaos. So, I just stood there with one other kid, who said he was about to throw up and wanted to see his mom. I don't blame him. He was in a pretty rough spot because the kids who ran off were his friends.
I need to mention that the kids who ran off aren't even bad people. They're just goofballs looking for fun, but since they're in a rough environment, they're bound to have bad interactions with the police because of their actions. I'd never say that to them in real life since I'm highly against telling anyone they're a victim. I'm also not the type to tell people to get their shit together, because I know that's really hard for anyone to do. I also might be called a racist if I voiced these views, so I tend to keep silent about this. I know high crime rates are a cultural issue and we need broad changes to counter that, but I also feel really weird referring to people as a mass instead of a group of individuals. It's also very uncomfortable to think about how we're influenced by things we can't control. If the police are abolished, what will be the next step for black people? Do we tell them to start working as hard as the rest of America? That they should emulate Mexican immigrants, the group with the lowest crime in America? That's an ideal sentiment, but I know that's the wrong approach. However, I can't find myself agreeing with the best approach for black people because that is at odds with the approach that worked best for me, which is to not complain. So, in real life, I say nothing to black people and the police. I let them solve their problem on their own. I can't take a side.
Calling people in this thread bootlickers and dick-suckers because they always support the police is ridiculous because you're misinterpreting what people are saying. You're also ignoring, trashing, and spitting on the basic function of police, which is to kill people that are about to kill you and use appropriate force against people that are literally robbing your home. I'd love police reform if it wasn't for the fact America has shitty gun control. If you reduce the firepower of the police, you're just making them more vulnerable to being gunned down by criminals. If someone that isn't
a leftist who uses sexist and homophobic insults to bolster their arguments--just think about the disgusting contradiction in that phrase--can enlighten me on how police reform can be done without putting any police officer at risk, please do. For some reason, I can't accept a rich foreign exchange student who graduated Stanford with a computer science diploma in his hand and a brainwashed mind, whose brushes with the police probably resulted from the countless frat parties he went to, and who stands angrily in one spot and baits people with hypocritical insults whenever his poor feelings get hurt, as someone anyone should listen to or see as the Malcolm X of Sc2Mafia. In other words, oops is just a bad person nobody should hang out with. He's literally worse than some criminals, because he's so privileged but is as morally constitute as a shitbag. A bag full of shit. I just made up that word because it perfectly describes oops. It's a waste of anyone's time to indulge his self-destructive and toxic tendencies, but it's also really funny to wreck him. CRASH!!! Oops, if your feelings are hurt, just remember that I'll take the path of zero responsibility and claim that I'm just baiting you. Which I literally am

Solidarity is especially dangerous among conservatives in the country with the highest number of immigrants in the world and the most diversity in the world. That is my closing thought.
