“Is a gay cop bad? Is a *trans* cop bad???”

Yes, they’re even worse

It takes a certain kind of bootlicker to be queer, see what policing systems do to marginalised communities and decide you want in on that actually.

When we say *all* cops are bastards

We mean *ALL* cops

You can do your standard liberal lines. Say that’s generalising and “I thought we shouldn’t generalise groups?” but when you join the police you are making an active decision to enforce a broken system that preys on the poor and marginalised. That makes you a bastard.

This is not the same as being part of a commonly generalised group. You don’t get a choice to be a POC, you don’t get a choice to be gay, you don’t get a choice to be trans. You choose to be a cop.
