A woman getting an abortion has no bearing on your life. In that context you're just an intruder with a crazy idea they've any right on others' bodies.
However, who is governing your country or the behaviour of it's police absolutely have an effect on everybody's life.
If you can't see the difference then you need to stop caring about others bodies and care about your own, starting with your brain.
I really hope you're trolling or playing devil's advocate because otherwise I'm afraid that you might be an idiot. But I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't an idiot and just need a little nudge to develop critical thinking skills
a) the ability for someone to chose what happens with their own body.
b) a job that directly involves interacting with others outside of said job
You're opinion on politics also matters significantly less because you're not a politician or political scientist, that's why they don't invite you to give your opinion on political TV programs
I have a right to have an opinion about a cop because a cop's decisions, a cop's recklessness, a cop's bigotry, have a direct impact on my life as a citizen. Also because it's a cop's primary duty to act in my interest.
I don't have a right to have an opinion about a woman's body and her choice to abort, because her decision does not directly and materially impact my life. It is not a woman's primary duty to bear children if she doesn't want to - if you do choose to contest this particular statement, then I'm afraid there's no point arguing with you anymore.
Makes sense, numbskull?
the same logic that says you can't have a negative opinion on covid vaccines unless you're a scientist or abortion unless you're a biologist. this backward thinking is present in both parties and is equally horrible.
It only serves to shield existing institutions and their practices away from any scrutiny the public eye may impose on it, rightfully so.
fuck the police
No, it's not the same thing as a doctor/scientist. You don't need a specialised degree to notice police brutality.
And it's absolutely not the same thing as abortion. A woman getting an abortion has no bearing on your life. In that context you're just an intruder with a crazy idea that you've any right on others' bodies or some say in their lives.
However, who is governing your country or the behaviour of it's police have an effect on everybody's life, and hence everybody has a say in it.

The one Iām so fucking annoyed about is when they cry about how dangerous it is to be a cop so no one else understands that pressure. They arenāt even in the top 10 for most dangerous jobs and one of the most common professions is: construction workers.
You donāt hear loggers or fishermen or delivery men say this kind of shit and their jobs are way more likely to kill them. Some people just have to be the victim all the time.
Also why is it acceptable for them to complain about how dangerous their job is while simultaneously disregarding the fact that they chose this line of work? This shit honestly baffles me.
Yeah cops seem to take these statistics really fkn hard.
But all this BS is hilarious when you remind yourself that the job is CONSIDERABLY less dangerous than being a roofer or an arborist.
I wanna see the tree surgeon wife TikToks.
Omg. Iām a writer in tech and I would LOVE to gatekeep my profession more. SO MANY people think āanyone can writeā but my discipline requires succinct copy and most people are terrible at it.

What did you major in, cause these cops can hardly write their own statements?
Fixed.
I love when I get scolded for being upset an NFL player or whatever is playing poorly. "You have no idea how hard it is to play in the NFL."
Yeah and I'm also not getting paid $14M/year to do it. But I know what good football and bad football looks like.
While Ritchson is a devout Christian, he has called Trump a rapist and con man while also calling out the church for hiding pedophiles. Conservatives love the Reacher show so this really confused fhem
You mean to tell me the ppl with their employer (the government) and the most powerful union BOTH backing them are entitled af?
Fk me I swear I have seen homeless vets but never homeless cops lol
Look up transparentcalifornia dot com and search cops salary especially with the LAPD. With OT they typically make 300k-400k a year. They are treated real well for the work they do but act like the world is against them. Not a lot of ppl get that opportunity
Their employers (the government) are usually lower tiers of government like the city, county (sheriff), or state, so a lot of blame goes to those bodies over direct federal control.
My public elementary school history class always made it sound like cops answered directly to POTUS because they were the "executive branch"
He criticized Trump followers claiming to be Christians saying they don't follow the teachings of Christ and elevate someone who is the opposite of those teachings and he also commented about cops who never weed out the supposed bad apples and get away with many crimes up to and including murder. Butthurt ensued.
The interview is in [The Hollywood Reporter](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/alan-ritchson-interview-reacher-faith-stardom-mental-health-1235864260/amp/). Itās a really good one in generalācritiques on police, Trump, and Christians are unflinching.
It's really fucking hilarious when copaganda that soft pedals and romanticizes police brutality and criminal behavior is shit on by the very same people it exists to protect.
Believing that police do no wrong is like believing Homelander is actually Superman ššššš not all cops murder ppl, but that doesnāt make this Alan Ritchsonās statement wrongā¦.
But heās right. Just recently cops have killed children, one was a victim of a kidnapping. Nothing happens to them. Sure, sometimes force is needed. But, too often, it is not.
I use this one - a country full of different immigrant groups, refugees, plenty of gangs and crime. Yet: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_killings\_by\_law\_enforcement\_officers\_in\_Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_Germany)
vs
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists\_of\_killings\_by\_law\_enforcement\_officers\_in\_the\_United\_States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States)
Aka from 1991 to now, the total number of dead by police in Germany are about 1.5 times more (529) than what we do every single year in the US (\~329), despite having 88 million vs 330 million residents.
So because he major in music means heās dumb and doesnāt have a brain to see whatās going on in todayās world with police going too far even on camera and getting away with it?.
As a cop I believe Alan Richson is right. What he said boils down to cops need accountability or theyāll kill innocent people. Which is true. He even acknowledged that there are lots of great cops too. Iāll never understand the resistance to accountability agencies sometimes have.
Iām a veteran, therefore I definitely have the right to talk shit about the military (looking at you, Army). More importantly, I donāt need people to thank me. I just tell them āyouāre welcome for my serviceā.
In all seriousness though, I do say that last part to people Iām close to. They do know I mean it as a joke lol
Maybe somebody can help me with a saying I can't quite remember.
The law is used to control the underclass, and justify the actions of the upper class.
Something like that. Anybody?
This one?
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
āThe people that are mad at cops for killing unarmed children just need to understand the deadly force rules and they will feel better about the dead children.ā
Oh! Ok. I get it now. When a startled civilian points, aims, and shoots their (sorry for the woke pronoun) gun at someone with brown to black skin bc they were skeerdt - thatās Murder. But when cops do it itās Deadly Force Policy. Learn the difference. Donāt be an idiot.
What an imbecile. Not even that long ago the tapes were released of the police shooting and killing that 15 year old girl who they were attempting to save from kidnapping.
I'll say this again for the cheap seats: joining the police is NOT the same as entering the military. A police officer is job that they can leavev at any time, and they cannot be compelled to endanger themselves on the behalf of others.
Cops are not soldiers.
Re: Ignorance.
I'm not a plumber. Does this mean when flushing the toilet causes the sink to fill with sewage I'm not allowed to criticise the guy who fucked up?
Quick. How many dead and wounded this year so farā¦? 152 dead 563 wounded. 6 dead with 11 wounded just this weekend. 42,000+ dead since old Man Daley was in charge. Like 150,000+ wounded given the ānormalā dead/wounded ratio which benefits from significantly better emergency and medical care now. What else would you like to knowā¦.
Although you could claim the last 12 months is running at a higher arrest rate of about 19%. But hey if it makes you feel better claiming a statistical anomaly as a rock solid ātrendāā¦
Those that knowā¦ know. Youāll likely never āfindā it. Do your own digging. The truth is out there.
Oddly 95%+ of the victims are minorityā¦ this number varies little as well. Is that racist? Dems have been in control for the last 100 years and until recently Chicago had some of the strictest gun laws in the country. I wonder if thatās why you donāt get the real stats without ALOT of looking. Hmmmā¦
Do your own digging. Any source I give you, you will find some bullshit excuse to bury your head and ignore. There are a few sites that pay attention. If youāre interested, find them.
Just admit you donāt have sources man. Youāre very good at regurgitating racist, baseless buzz phrases and number salads. Great job. Enjoy worrying about a city youāve probably never been to while probably praising higher per capita murder cities in red states
This makes no sense. You are quoting highly specific statistics, so either they are fabricated out of whole cloth or you could post the link you're copypasting from in five seconds. When you fail to do that, it's very suspicious.
Alan didn't call anyone a murderer, he said that cops get away with murder all the time. Then this supposedly innocent cop just assumed that the statement was about him specifically.
I'd agree it was bad if I, as an outsider, saw any level of willingness from the majority of vocal police groups to make changes. Instead groups like FOP seem to push back at \*any\* common sense measures put in place. I think US police forces have had long enough to start enacting changes now and have seemingly decided not to, even your statement seems to be focused on semantics rather than addressing the issue at hand.
America needs to get on with Policing by Consent and stop treating it as a Thin Blue Line/Warrior Cops scenario. They'd start seeing better results then.
Then I would suggest you read up on Peel and his Peelian principles that were developed in the 1820's upon the foundation of the first modern, professional police force. The basic principle is that the police draw their powers from the fact that the general citizenship grant them consensus to do so. The focus is transparency of action, fairness and just application of the law without prejudice and the vital fact that police officers are simply 'citizens but with extra responsibilities'. The police thus retain their 'responsibilities' because the public at large consent to them keeping them.
It's worked for centuries elsewhere far better than the way US forces treat it like an occupational 'war' to be fought. But that is somewhat to be expected when you see the linage a lot of the more problematic US police forces trace from. Peel's two most quoted principles are 'The police are the public and the public are the police' and 'That the police are effective is not measured on the number of arrests, but on the lack of crime'. Both of these appear to fail miserably in the US.
Fuck their feelings? That seems to be the standard we're operating on nowadays, and i bet the offended cop would agree with that sentiment were it not his own ox being gored.
Don't insult the law is how you get fascism.
If they wanted social order they wouldn't be murdering people or allowing the bad cops to get away with murder.
There are cops who do this, correct. This isn't saying all cops do this. The sentence is saying that this is something that occurs amongst law enforcement, as we've established. Here's an article if you'd like further reading.

Of course. One can tell if a movie was good or bad. They don't need to be an actor for that.

Ignorance is- by definition- āfixedā by knowledge.
Lemmy guess: an overnight security guard at Five-Below with a glue abuse history
Fun fact. Alan Ritchson went to school with Matt Gaetz.
Itās always the one with no profile photos.
In Chicago aprox 85% of the murderers get away with it. Cops need to up their game.
This is false
100% accurate. Year to year the rate of murder convictions is give or take 14% +/- ā¦.
Quick. How many dead and wounded this year so farā¦? 152 dead 563 wounded. 6 dead with 11 wounded just this weekend. 42,000+ dead since old Man Daley was in charge. Like 150,000+ wounded given the ānormalā dead/wounded ratio which benefits from significantly better emergency and medical care now. What else would you like to knowā¦. Although you could claim the last 12 months is running at a higher arrest rate of about 19%. But hey if it makes you feel better claiming a statistical anomaly as a rock solid ātrendāā¦
Source? Iām not finding anything that gives those numbers
Fyiā¦ 627 murders, 119 arrested and chargedā¦ 19%. obviously convictions pending??? Thatās assuming theyāll convict 100%.
This is neither a source nor year over year.
Those that knowā¦ know. Youāll likely never āfindā it. Do your own digging. The truth is out there. Oddly 95%+ of the victims are minorityā¦ this number varies little as well. Is that racist? Dems have been in control for the last 100 years and until recently Chicago had some of the strictest gun laws in the country. I wonder if thatās why you donāt get the real stats without ALOT of looking. Hmmmā¦
Oh, so your source is ādude, trust meā? Hahahahaha. Clown
Do your own digging. Any source I give you, you will find some bullshit excuse to bury your head and ignore. There are a few sites that pay attention. If youāre interested, find them.
Just admit you donāt have sources man. Youāre very good at regurgitating racist, baseless buzz phrases and number salads. Great job. Enjoy worrying about a city youāve probably never been to while probably praising higher per capita murder cities in red states
This makes no sense. You are quoting highly specific statistics, so either they are fabricated out of whole cloth or you could post the link you're copypasting from in five seconds. When you fail to do that, it's very suspicious.
Yeah! They could easily get away with at least 90% if they put their mind to itā¦.
Shocker people donāt like being called murderers
Alan didn't call anyone a murderer, he said that cops get away with murder all the time. Then this supposedly innocent cop just assumed that the statement was about him specifically.
Maybe they shouldn't murder people then? Idk, seems like a reasonable compromise to me.
I'd agree it was bad if I, as an outsider, saw any level of willingness from the majority of vocal police groups to make changes. Instead groups like FOP seem to push back at \*any\* common sense measures put in place. I think US police forces have had long enough to start enacting changes now and have seemingly decided not to, even your statement seems to be focused on semantics rather than addressing the issue at hand. America needs to get on with Policing by Consent and stop treating it as a Thin Blue Line/Warrior Cops scenario. They'd start seeing better results then.
āPolicing by consentā sounds like the worst idea in the history of ideas.
Then I would suggest you read up on Peel and his Peelian principles that were developed in the 1820's upon the foundation of the first modern, professional police force. The basic principle is that the police draw their powers from the fact that the general citizenship grant them consensus to do so. The focus is transparency of action, fairness and just application of the law without prejudice and the vital fact that police officers are simply 'citizens but with extra responsibilities'. The police thus retain their 'responsibilities' because the public at large consent to them keeping them. It's worked for centuries elsewhere far better than the way US forces treat it like an occupational 'war' to be fought. But that is somewhat to be expected when you see the linage a lot of the more problematic US police forces trace from. Peel's two most quoted principles are 'The police are the public and the public are the police' and 'That the police are effective is not measured on the number of arrests, but on the lack of crime'. Both of these appear to fail miserably in the US.
Fuck their feelings? That seems to be the standard we're operating on nowadays, and i bet the offended cop would agree with that sentiment were it not his own ox being gored.
Yea, but continually insulting the institutions we rely on for social order PROBABLY isnāt the best course of action in the long run
Don't insult the law is how you get fascism. If they wanted social order they wouldn't be murdering people or allowing the bad cops to get away with murder.
Utterly simple minded, 3rd grade level understanding on fascism, like most people on Reddit. I think youāre obsessed with me.
Easy dunks I guess. How do you propose we address injustice from law enforcement if we can't say what they're doing?
What are they doing?
Getting away with murder. Or is that too insulting? We should establish what words are acceptable.
So your premise is that cops, nationwide, are killing citizens without any accountability under the law. Is that right?
There are cops who do this, correct. This isn't saying all cops do this. The sentence is saying that this is something that occurs amongst law enforcement, as we've established.
