The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

Bad policing is bad for good cops.
Sigh. The responses you got really dishearten me. We really are moving fast to a binary world where everything is good or bad and any opportunity for nuance is thrown out the window.
You are of course 100% correct.
Good cops? You mean the ones that stand and watch the bad cops?
Well good thing there are no good cops 🅰️©️🆎
Yeah woukd suck for them if there were. I bet they woukd stop being cops immediately.
They’ve had over 100 years yo fix the system from the inside. If good cops ever existed, what have they done to stop shit like this from happening?
Fuck them all. There are no good cops when savages like these ones are allowed to do what they do. Every last one of them may as well be kindling for the fires of the revolution that’s coming.
Some kind of police is necessary. Public order needs to be kept, laws enforced, crime fought, dangers prevented. A state monopoly on violence is not a terrible idea and needs to be enforced somehow.
What kind of powers, tasks, oversight, and so on police gets is the issue.
Yeah thats what im saying. A good cop is someone who realizes on the first day ‘oh. Oh that training makes a lot more sense now. I need every shower.’ And quits. Or dies in a training accident pretty quick.
There are no good cops.
Hard disagree. My wife was stopped due to expired registration on our car - My fault, long story. The cop gave her a fix it ticket. Nothing else happened. They’re a good cop, or at least they were in that moment.
You know what would have happened if they were a bad cop in that moment? She would have been deported for having brown skin.
Good cops don’t make headlines, but they exist, and I’m grateful for the good ones we’ve encountered.
That being said, bad cops can fuck right off.
My dude, that cop did the bare minimum of their job. I don’t believe that should be your definition of ‘good’.
Bare minimum would have been not pulling her over in the first place, or giving a warning. I’ve encountered cops in the past that ticketed me for things that I found out later I should not have been ticketed for, and they were dicks while they did it.
This wasn’t the bare minimum, and they didn’t abuse their power. Definitely wasn’t a “bad cop”.
There are no good cops.
There are outright bad cops, and there are cops that do their jobs – but that doesn’t make them good cops. A lot of the time it’s the doing of the job itself that makes them bad cops.
