It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.

No way I could be a cop. If I was standing in line with those guys and saw my coworker shoot a girl close range I'd punch him in the face. This is what people mean when they say ACAB. There's no way a decent person can see a woman get shot like that and not want to help.

I could never date a cop either. Imagine the type of harm and harassment they could unleash on you if you broke up with them.

I wouldn’t even be friends with a cop.

I'm polyamorous. I won't even date someone who dates cops.

I would but only keep them in the dungeon in a cage.

I've known two people that were briefly cops. They got out around one to two years doing it. That's about how long you can be a cop before the other cops expect you to mutually get your hands dirty.

Literally a gang of horrible fascist

America's oldest and largest state-sanctioned gang.

I absolutely won't be friends with one. They have a dangerous mentality of escalating non-violent situations into violent ones, and they'll never admit when they are wrong. Not the type of people I would ever want to associate with.

You are right, no way you could be a cop.

I could, I'm morally dubious enough to ignore it. Then hand out coffee spiked with arsenic.
