Kelly Thomas was murdered by them. Nothing was done.
I can guarantee you someone was arrested today for smoking pot, or for exercising his second amendment rights.
Christopher Cantwell (I disagree with his rabid atheism, but its irrelevant to my point here) had his life effectively ruined by a cop who arrested him for DWI. What did he actually do? He did the responsible thing, pulled over, and went to sleep.
There is a thread on this very forum (IIRC Lighthouse posted it) about a cop going undercover trying to bait an autistic kid who didn't have other friends and convincing him to sell him drugs, than proceeding to arrest the kid.
People are regularly ticketed for "speeding", an act which is not violent in nature. While regular people work hard for their livings, cops make their livings by plundering peaceful people who violate technical laws.
A dog is killed by a cop every 98 minutes. You are eight times more likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist. And if a cop kills you, they will very likely get a paid vacation at the end.
I understand that there are decent people who are sucked into the awful profession for this, that, or the other reason. But as a group they are scumbags.

For what its worth, I'm usually a little nicer in real life. A little. I still don't pull too many punches. This stuff isn't comfortable to think about. To paraphrase Eric Peters "the idea that all cops are bad is certainly distasteful, but like an accurate terminal cancer diagnosis, nonetheless true." Waking up sucks, but it needs to be done.
I'm with you. But, I see no good reason to fight that battle on the statist's terms. Instead of trying to control government controlled public schools, fight to free the schools from government control. And so forth.
