If criticism of our current law enforcement organization makes you feel this frustrated, you probably are not one of the people who have the most to worry about from police.
I'm definitely not and make no claims to be. But I'm not talking about criticism of law enforcement, that doesn't frustrate me. I'm talking about no large scale societal problem is so easy to solve like I see posted here frequently relating to the police, government, climate change etc.
But unless you say 'hurr durr, acab' you're a boot licking cunt.
It's not the JOB of casual internet browsers to have all the answers, but it IS the job of the people we pay with our taxes to fix the problems with the systems we hired them to manage.
To say that normal, uneducated people on the internet have no voice unless they understand all the nuance and technical details of an issue, or that people who raise complaints against a system need to formulate an actionable and realistic plan? When you say that you are saying that you just don't like the issue, that you don't want to see people complaining and you don't care about the issue because it doesn't effect you.
If someone shoots me in the stomach, I will plead for help from medical personnel to fix the holes in my body, I may even have some suggestions like "Also, you will need to remove the bullet if possible, and maybe a round of antibiotics after!"
If the doctor rolls his eyes and says "Why do people think this is so simple to solve?" I will fucking go to different ER.
Instead of looking at the people who complain with disdain and impatience, ask why the problems of others are so ill-informed and see if you can figure out a way to help people foment better arguments. Otherwise you're basically shining the boots for licking.
Thank you for proving that you're not actually at all serious or care about anything and thus all your thoughts are not to be counted on this issue. You're just pounding keys to express your anger at someone or something and want to make someone mad or make yourself worked up to validate your negative state. Got it.
Hahahaha love the moral high route.
You need to get off your fucking high horse, you flog.
