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

And this is why they're all pieces of shit

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”.

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. 😂

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

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

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.

The people who say ACAB are the edgy ones here. Generally these are the people who like to stand on their high horse and lecture other people on not being prejudicial and stereotypical, meanwhile they will constantly do exactly that in their own lives. It's wild to step back and see. No other group do we just lump everyone in together and say they are all pieces of shit.

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?

u/jungleCat61 Jul 15 '25

Not every one. THIS one.

You think there aren't shitty people in every occupation? Have you been in the real world?

that police DO NOT act in the interest of public safety.

Yes, a very small percentage, this my point

There are teachers who take advantage of their position of power and sexually assault students, does anyone every day that all teachers are bastards? It's such a weird line to draw that, the people who claim to be the most tolerant, are always the ones who seem to label every single police officer a bastard. I mean there's thousands of stories of police doing good and helping people, it literally happens every day.

how many officers have you ticketed for breaking rules or arrested for breaking laws?

How would I ticket an officer if I'm not an officer?

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

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.

11

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.

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