Not only are all cops bastards, Cops are class traitors. Police unions should not be allowed.
- class traitors
  Daily reminder that cops are not working class
  
  This is from 2020
  374 Seattle Police Department employees made at least $200,000 last year; here’s how
  
  Idk, in my estimation they ARE working class, which is precisely why they are class traitors
  
  I would say the majority of cops, in America, are firmly in the working class, financially speaking. Unless you've got some theory reason for why police are excluded from the proletariat or something. Which I don't know if I'd argue with. They exist to protect capital.
  
  Do you mean they aren’t working class cause they’re cops, or cause yours make a lot of money?
  Ours make shit money, and class is inherited.

ACAB
- Class traitors, every single one

This is why strikes are so important.
They remind the workers who's side the cops are really on in the class war.

Reminder: Cops are class traitors.
- Cops are kept attack dogs.
  
  Animal Farm in real life through every generation. The dogs on the farm were the police.

Pigs will always protect capital
- Please don't bring pigs down to their level.
- It’s something to do with why they were invented.

Police are unionized lmao. Let's break up that union and see how they like it. They should be on our side but the fucking cowards bent the knee. I'm not the least but surprised, it's no longer the police but a gang of violent goons protecting the elite.
I wish the irony wasn't lost on them as having the police as allies would do us all a lot of good.
- They're not smart enough to take sides. They just do what they're told.
  
  They just do what they’re told.
  That, and they do what they are well paid to do.
- I floated the idea to someone that we should make police unions responsible for any legal payouts when a cop is found at fault and there is a civil payout. The police won't hold themselves accountable and they don't even have to pay the fines. The tax payers do. Making the police unions pay would give them incentive to actually cut ties with bad cops.
  I was told that was a terrible idea and the fastest way to bankrupt the police. I didn't see the problem.
  
  Oh no, the police going bankrupt. The horror!

Reminder: police unions are not worker unions

Foot soldiers of capital doing the one thing they're paid for.

Fucking class traitors

Bastards and scabs. It’s a good look

the police are now traitors to the american populace.
gross.
- "now"
  
  Before too, but also now and in the immediate and distant future

Shockingly, they're all fat useless pieces of shit too.

Is it any surprise that a pig is also a scab?

Remove the police union see how they like it.

Do we still have to keep calling their gangs, "unions"? Clearly they have zero interest in class solidarity, and have only reinforced the reality that they exist to protect capital.
- They have interest in class solidarity in the sense that they have set themselves in a class separate from the majority of the people, and they experience significant solidarity within that class.
  But their insular "solidarity" is a shadow of what they could experience if they didn't throw their communities under the bus to appease capital. I find it quite sad, in a way, because capital cares about police officers no more than it cares about me; capital considers them a resource to be exploited, just as it does me. We should be on the same side, but alas.

They do behave aweful a lot like an occupation force
- Probably because they get trained by the IDF
  
  Yeah in an ideal world they should be trained by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Quds Force.

That's supposed to be NYC's finest? They look like lazy mall cops. Sloppy as hell, out of shape, and disorganized.
- Well, they are as fine as it gets. Which just happens to be not a lot.

Shouldn't people be boycotting Amazon, otherwise working people are hanging themselves with the rope they bought and brought to the party.
- At least some of us have already.
  <raises hand>
- As much as possible yeah
- But Amazon can deliver that rope free, within two business days!
- You know how union of all people created for collective action(including boycotting) is called? Goverment.
- Spread out that spend, but being a discerning consumer will only take us so far.

Unemployment is at 3%! Who is crossing the strike lines to work at Amazon of all places?
- If unemployment is so low then why can't I find a god damn job? I've been searching since October!
  
  You can find jobs, just not careers. Lower your standards and their are infinite shit jobs that you can take.

Fuck Bezos right in the pussy

See guys? Together anything is possible!

Throw a brick.
Yes, from the back of the crowd where the only blame is one out of twenty people. Where else?

Glad to see the NYPD doing their jobs. See a line, cross a line.

One thing is for sure donuts would go missing right there immediately.

Why do they all look like Mario?
- Too much pasta and donuts, not enough running and jumping.

fucking planes in buil- no too far

im sure they are just trying to prevent legal protester from leveling before they get beat. ACAB
- AACAB

Oink oink 🐽🐽

I hate em as much as anyone but aren't they just protecting roadways

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people beat the drum about cops enforcing the laws we tell them to enforce.
Did all of you sleep through Civics?
- Union busting is illegal
  
  Yes, but crossing a picket line isn't.
- Did you ever study labour history in the US?
  No because they don't teach to peasants haja
  
  The irony of you using "peasant" as a slur in a pro-labor conversation...

Imagine complaining about people taking a job to support their family, instead of taking that job for themselves and doing it "the way it should be done". If you actually wanna change the system, you might wanna try to take control of it first.
