After arriving at the Murry family home, police instructed everyone inside to come out with their hands up. Nakala Murry says that’s when Aderrien emerged from around a corner, running toward the door. Capers then opened fire.

    Cops who want to serve their community quit, and get a real job as firefighters, medics, or fucking line cooks.

      Yeah, sadly. I’ve seen that personally, back when I worked and lived in the city. They either burn out or get run out.

        No. They’re not serving their community until they do those things; shit society actually needs. Shit that’s actually productive.

        Tiny little corpses are a want(apparently); not a need .

          Eh, there’s a point to proper law enforcement. We’ve just never seen such a thing.

          It’s been about protecting the wealthy and powerful, stomping on the oppressed, and generally raking in funds for so long, I don’t think anyone would recognize good police if they were fucking one.

            But that’s all laws are for.

            The things you want done by ‘proper law enforcement’ happen from people empowered to step up, and not be bystanders, and close community ties that facilitate intervention.
