We had cops for neighbours at one place and one down the street in another. Both great people. Used to get together with them, kids played together, etc.

Great people don't remain cops for long, so I really doubt it

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I still know one of them. Have been an acquaintance of another cop for 15 years. Still great people.

Until they witness their coworkers do awful things and say nothing.

And I can tell you with certainty that's what they do, because the ones that do try to do the right thing are fired at best, and literally murdered at worst.

!! What country do you live in?

The US. Look up Christopher Dorner for just one, high profile, example.

This must be US thing I presume?

ACAB applies worldwide, not just the US.

That's pretty bullshit. And I'm sorry for everyone that thinks this is the case since they probably doesn't meet normal ones that often as I do...
