    OP shows 2 cops dragging a student by her hair for protesting a genocide.

    In what world are these people not outlandishly and cartoonishly evil?

    Like even if you ignore that they uphold an unjust system designed to protect capital and oppress the working class, as we’re seeing in 4K on campuses across the country, and we saw in 2020, individually, “outlandishly and cartoonishly evil” is an apt descriptor for people who respond to protests against state violence by beating the shit out of teenagers.

      I have no part in this, because I don’t live in the US, but basing your argument on a picture of two (one?) cop being a dick, does not make all cops dicks. They may be, but this picture shouldn’t be proof of it as you imply on this comment. No pictures are being taken of cops doing the job properly, let alone being shared online. Besides that, one bad cop does not make all cops bad. This may be turning into a Bear/Man discussion so I will leave it at this

      My point is, yeah they might be dicks, but I think that it is fair to point out false facts and arguments even though they support a notion that is true

        1 bad cop, protected by 9 “good” cops is 10 bad cops. It doesn’t matter which one in particular has you in a choke-hold, all of them are necessary for that one to do what he is doing.
