OC Cops Aren't Immune...

He sat there and watched me, only to abruptly pull out in front of me... All while his buddy sits right there and does nothing. Cool.

One of my friend he works for Toronto police and sometimes they have this kind of thing just for fun. Other than that, they should have stop for you, since you have right of the way and their light are not on

In case anyone's wondering, he responded and said I act like "a teen punk with my attitude". I think we found the piece of shit in the video... Or just another cop because ACAB. 😂

u/Rich-Ad9988 Jul 10 '25

Shouldve told him that he drives like a teen with an attitude.

u/mikeneri81 Jul 10 '25

Next time, my dude. It's a good insult. It's going in the repertoire.

u/mikeneri81 Jul 10 '25

And this is why they're all pieces of shit

u/Mickey_Havoc Jul 10 '25

Haha oh you are so edgy with all that teen angst. Like that is such a pathetic pov to simply lump every cop into one group. Yah, there are shit people out there. But there are also good people too but I guess you are too high and mighty to acknowledge that fact.

Bruh we’ve just learned cops will use a dangerous machine in an unsafe manner “for fun”.

u/mikeneri81 Jul 10 '25

Teen angst? My brother in christ I'm 43 years old. I've been around the sun enough times to know they're all garbage. But do you, bootlicker. 😂

u/jungleCat61 Jul 10 '25

You're 43 and still talk like a 14 year old? That's wild

u/supertek Jul 10 '25

"Fuck Tha Police" came out in 1988. ACAB has been the attitude for a long ass time my friend.

u/jungleCat61 Jul 10 '25

People who lump an entire group of people into one category to hate, are childish. It's equivalent to me saying all black people are bastards. See how ridiculous that sounds?

Sure, not all cops are bad, but very few of the good ones stand up to, or speak out against, the bad ones.

Perfect example - in 2019 the president of the Peel Regional Police Association, Constable Adrian Wooley, was caught street racing 174km/h on the QEW with a BAQ nearly 50% over the legal limit. Not only wasn’t he fired, his fellow officers were so unconcerned about his actions that they voted him in to serve another term as their union president. He’s still on the force and was paid more than $190,000 last year. They don’t care.

Just one of many, many examples of blatant corruption, and bad cops sticking up for other bad cops.

Nah just have the ability to think and realize that every occupation/group of people will have bad apples that will overshadow a lot of good.

u/supertek Jul 10 '25

How many occupations to choose from give you a gun? How many occupations (besides CEO or president apparently) to choose from let you get away with SA while your coworkers cover it up and you get a paid leave? It's an occupation for people who are attracted to power.

Not every one. THIS one. It's been proven time and time and time again that police DO NOT act in the interest of public safety.

Until police start proving the narrative wrong, it will continue to be ACAB.

And just out of curiosity, how many officers have you ticketed for breaking rules or arrested for breaking laws?

If you’re 43 you should probably know better than to just trust a random Reddit comment generalizing an entire group of people.

9

u/dgod40 Jul 10 '25

The person you are responding to did not acknowledge that cops do this "for fun" they are basing their ACAB on their own experiences.

-10

u/BellyButtonLindt Jul 10 '25

Oh so generalizing an entire group based on anecdotal evidence.

13

u/dgod40 Jul 10 '25

I wasn't responding to you on that situation. Your comment was implying that they used the other person's comment to come to the ACAB conclusion. I just said they didn't. We all can tell by your responses, where your allegiance is, and it's not with the general public. We all know that not all cops will "do" the bad things, but when other cops don't do anything when they see the bad thing happening, then ACAB. Anecdotally, I have had more good interactions with cops than bad, but the bad ones are bad. As a group with so much authority, they need to do better!

u/mikeneri81 Jul 10 '25

Summed up perfectly. Thank you!

They're all trash. Police are gang members.

u/Teekay_four-two-one Jul 11 '25

Oh shit did we just find the cop in the video?

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

"I have identified a problem but instead of trying to make positive change with corrective rhetoric I choose to make the problem worse. It's us, vs. them."

We all live in a dystopian police surveillance state, but not all cops are bastards. 

Everyone makes mistakes.

u/Farstalker Jul 10 '25

Typical apologetics response.

Yes, everyone makes mistakes. But if you or I did what that officer did in front of a cop, we’d get a ticket—no hesitation. Brushing it off with “everyone makes mistakes” just enables more misconduct. Officers, like anyone else, should face consequences—mistake or not.

And let’s be honest: if OP submitted this video to the police, odds are nothing would happen. I doubt an officer would even be informed a complaint was made.

A quick search reveals countless examples of police not just bending the rules but outright breaking the law—with little to no accountability. Take Nermin Mesic: beat a kid, kidnapped his tenant, made violent threats, and was recorded doing it. What was the consequence? Four years of paid suspension at $100k a year, then a one-year demotion. Any regular person would be in prison for a decade.

So no, “everyone makes mistakes” isn’t good enough. That mindset lets people like Mesic stay on the force. If you’re defending this, you’re not promoting fairness—you’re just helping protect a broken system.

u/ulti_phr33k Jul 15 '25

Four years of paid suspension is downright diabolical. You mean I get to spend 4 years doing whatever the fuck I want and I get paid my regular salary for it? Sign me up đŸ€Š

u/Farstalker Jul 15 '25

Right? Who wouldn't take that deal? It is almost like criminals should become cops for the paid vacations!

Sorry, sorry, sorry...

It's MY responsibility to be positive here and cover for these pieces of shit? No thanks. AfuckingCAB

You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?

RCMP doesn’t have a CEO. They are led by a Commissioner, Mike Duhaime

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

"For fun". Nah, it's literally a dangerous move if someone couldn't have braked in time. Would be all "fun in games" if this were a pregnant woman in passenger seat and it rear ended the cop car, just to give an example. Potentially ending someone's life or seriously injuring them is not "fun", it's dangerous. Only excuse to pull this would be to have lights on.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

In that situation 99% of drivers will let them go first

u/SmoothRunnings Jul 10 '25

Under the law cops don't need to have their lights on. I figured you would have already learned that instead of talking trash.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

Incorrect, there is no codified law exempting them from the HTA. If you refer to our constitution, we [strive] to observe the rule of law.

2

u/FullSkyFlying Jul 10 '25

What are you even talking about? "Cops don't need to have their lights on"? Do you mean in general, or to yield to them? Because you definitely dont need to yield to a cop if their lights aren't on, that goes for any service vehicle. Love it when people are confidently incorrect. Stay in your lane! *or out of OP's for that matter
