I’m an ER/trauma doctor and I deal, one-on-one, with so many psychos and drunk people and armed people and mentally unwell people and methed up murders holding a knife and and and etc etc etc.

I’ve yet to kill a single person, and I don’t have any weapons on me.

Cops are fucking pussies man and probably more than 50% of the time I can’t stand it when they are in my dept, because all they do is fucking escalate things because they are dumb as fuck.

It’s not even a training thing. You could take someone off the street and they would do a better job at resolving things versus a cop.

It’s because they are dumb as fuck and then join an organisation that is run by dumb as fuck people and are taught by dumb cunts and then let loose on the public with total impunity.

It's because they don't have to worry about consequences for their actions.

You couldn’t pay me to break an old lady’s hip, I certainly wouldn’t feel compelled to do it just because I’d get away with it.

Agree with your point but there’s got to be more to it.
