Re: TW, discussion of police violence

(Anonymous) 2020-06-07 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, some police would still be racist sexist dickheads even if they had never joined a police force, but think of it like a frat (very like a frat, police unions are basically fraternal orders of police under a different name) they take existing shitty behavior and excuse and encourage and shield it behind a wall of power and privilege. They’re like hothouses for conscienceless asshole behavior. And some people who join for a good job with benefits and because they’ve seen too many cop shows get encouraged to set what empathy and compassion they do have aside because it actually hinders them at being cops.

If every time someone was having a mental breakdown they were met by social workers and therapists and EMTs, if every time someone was concerned about their elderly neighbor they could ask that a social worker come for a brief wellness check that same day, if every time a person found themselves homeless they were offered a counselor and a therapist and a few nights in a shelter while someone arranged permanent supportive housing, if drugs were decriminalized and their use got you free detox and treatment instead of jail, if half the budget of most police departments went to social programs instead, we wouldn’t need nearly so many police.
