Recently a cop died in my city. The news was like "officer died on duty while responding to a robbery".
Turns out the fat ass died of a heart attack in his cruiser while parked outside.
Now the city police is painting him as a fallen hero who deserves a state funeral paid by us. Meanwhile I lost 5 of my coworkers during COVID, working at a hospital. Nobody lowered a flag or gave them so much as a mention in the newspaper
- Molly Conger a.k.a. Socialistdogmom once did a deep dive on a report their city police made to show "deaths in the line of duty" and at least one was someone who died on vacation of a long term medical issue. Another ridiculously common one was classifying cops who died in car accidents they caused while not even pursuing anyone as in the line of duty.

  The one that got shot by his pal because they forgot they didn't used training ammo was pretty hilarious, but the best part was that he shot him IN THE BACK, i see they were really training what they usually do to real people.
  
  I've just started listening to Weird Little Guys, she's quite the funny storyteller

Haha

Pig on pig violence?

The guy on the left, second from the front... Is he wearing mime makeup? I know given his profession he is probably proud to be white, but that looks like a pressing medical condition.
- There's also Al Bundy on the other side
- CW: lookism I guess ::: spoiler spoiler I think that's what happens when your completely soulless and don't have a makeup team :::
- When you have a funeral at 3 but gotta be at a kid's birthday party at 4.
- Theyre just so white the camera has trouble with the reflection

What is the context?
- Cops are trash
  
  So when you have a problem (accident, robbery, etc) who do you ask for help?

I don't like police officers as a general rule. But I also don't really advocate for death as a blanket statement. This is just a poor taste joke.
Edit: Jesus, ya'll can stop replying now. No wonder we have genocide, so easy to dehumanized others, and not even notice.
- You can stop being a cop. The victims of cops can't stop being black.
  
  The victims of cops can't stop being black while only 1,858 out 8,248 victims of police brutality were black from 2017-2024
  It's seems the proponents of ACAB are only capable of heuristic reasoning.
- I agree about blanket statements and calls for death, but it looks to me like this meme is just calling cops trash.
  
  Some people can't accept that other people don't respect the regime authority. Mocking pigs to some is in off itself is offensive so original commenter using generic "violence is never right" argument to justify his reaction of distaste for OP.
  You correctly observed that he misread the meme, just reflexively responded as a bootlicker.
- No one made such a statement, but thanks for the pearl clutching.
- They're human beings who have chosen to sell their body and will to the state to be used as a cudgel to enforce the state's will through violence. We would prefer that they voluntarily stop participating in the oppression, but if they don't they are willingly taking up arms against the disenfranchised, which means I have less than zero sympathy when they get what's coming to them.
  
  "The state's will" in most cases is to stop a murderer or a robber or whatnot.
  People work for the police not to become the instrument of the state, but to prevent actual crimes. The rest sadly often comes after.
  Y'all acting like cops are just useless parasites - good luck surviving a week in a modern word without them.
- No wonder we have genocide
  Yes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza becuase Americans hate their occupation force 🤡
- I'm with you. People can be so fucked up sometimes...
  
  You're apparently the only one if this comment chain is any indication.

Heh. Cheap generalizations are fun.
- ACAB
- Those salaries aren’t cheap
- It's not a generalization, it's a statement about the system. As persons, not all cops are bastards; as enforcers of the status quo, all cops are bastards.

So in response to cops stereotyping minorities, let's sterotype all cops? Then let's take that to the extreme and disrepect a dead person you know nothing about, for laughs.
Even If you knew for a fact that the person in that cofin was a bad cop, does thier family deserve this image being passed around like this. No. One could understand if your motive was to help effect change, and crossing this line would help. But you are doing it for laughs and internet points. There is nothing good about that.
- Being a cop is a choice.
  Being a minority is not.
  
  What about all the ACAB (assigned cop at birth) people?
  Checkmate liberals.
- People are definitely born cops and it's an immutable characteristic.
  
  It's the checkbox parents mark on thier birth certificate. Irrefutable once done.
- NOT 👏 ALL 👏 PIGS 🐷
  
  Hey, don't talk like that about pigs. They're usually much nicer than people.
- All cops are garbage. Every single one of them.
- Holy shit. Calm down Karen.
- Cops aren’t people
- Ah yes they were born cops
- That's funny. I didn't hear anyone holler "soooie!"
