    Why would you ever give a cop the benefit of a doubt? In being serious. We’ve seen time and time again that they lie, make up scenarios after they fuck up, and go out of their way to obscure and hide the truth. And it’d be one thing if these were isolated incidents, few and far between. But this is a systemic issue. One that they all either participate in, expressly bless, or implicitly support through their continued silence. This idea that we should take the word of those with a state-sancioned license to kill civilians is absurd. If anything we should treat every single thing they say and do with even higher level of scrutiny.

      Because nobody should be treated as one monolithic group. It’s a small minded view of the world.

        If the problem isn’t solved by the groups managers, then the problem is systematic and you can blame the entire group for trying to cover up the misconduct of an individual.

        Dude, you’re sitting here saying that when the first part of your username is an AI in a sci-fi genre, that is expressly about how large corporations are aiming to create a single monolithic group in order to dominate the world and will use cops as private security forces to achieve their goals.
