Pigs love rolling in shit. Responding to protest is a blank check to do whatever violence you want while being paid massive amounts of overtime.

All of the cops I’ve known personally are from very similar backgrounds, basically straight edged nerds with paladin brain. People who weren’t necessarily bullied, but just perceived themselves as a tormented outsider. They want action, they want violence, and they think they are completely righteous in whatever they do because the badge makes them good guys.

Every cop is a looser wannabe Rambo, but was too chicken shit or lazy to actually join the military.
