Nearly half of LA's $300,000 earners held officer or detective titles, and among the Police Officer IIs in that group, average overtime topped regular pay.
Seattle has some of the worst cops in the country and we have for a long time. You’re thinking of weird hipster art and cafe culture, which does exist in a few neighborhoods, but the primary powers are big business like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Boeing.
The US police hasn’t really been a slave-catching service since the days of chattel slavery, but it’s possible you have bona fide slave-catchers in your area if you’re not in the US. Why haven’t you done anything about that?
Yep. Cops in my town routinely make more than the mayor with overtime they stole.

He’s not saying they weren’t bad just that instead of fixing things the police just hire wise people because they are the only ones that apply.
The implied alternative, that we should be grateful for the violent racists in the hopes that they hire better people, is unacceptable.
or pigs are shitty everwhere.
Yeah, it’s a shame you haven’t reformed them.
perhaps it’s time we just retired the slavecatcher service entirely

if you guys had any souls, you’d be intervening with ICE instead of attacking the people who pay your salaries.
