someone from my high school, who last week didn& #39;t get why people weren& #39;t excited that he finally became a police officer seems to have deleted his social media, which like, lmao

all cops are bastards. fictional cops. none of this & #39;trying to change from the inside& #39; shit. ACAB.

my experience will never come close to the horrors many face but even from a young age everyone in my hometown knew they didn& #39;t solve cases, they didn& #39;t help anyone, they just waited at stop signs to fill quotas and harassed brown people out late so downtown would & #39;look nicer.& #39;

wild that the city of auburn routinely lets drunk people roam the streets yelling and roll 8-10 entire city blocks in toilet paper for & #39;tradition& #39; after sporting events but will repeatedly make trouble for people minding their own damn business outside a bar for not being white

i dont feel like this discourse is mine to own but one thing i feel equipped to do is reflect on the moments i realized & #39;good cops& #39; are fictional and urge others to meditate on the nature of the police, even in our local communities, and who they really serve and protect. thanks!
