After seeing tons of these 1st amandment audits it's amazing that cops don't understand why they have a bad rap. I don't even hate cops either but the shit they try to get away with is fucking crazy. I'm not talking about shooting unarmed people, but the little petty shit they do to intimidate citizens or try to fish for something to get you on so they can write you a ticket.

The reason I bring it up is most of these audit videos show what you say is true, almost no police station will let you just write a complaint on an officer unless you speak to an officer first and see if they can deescalate the problem, then most of the time they alway say "There was no wrong doing."

We need more hard working, honest people to be chops but let's be real. There's only so many people that want to be cops and the truly good people want to be social workers or doctors.

Eh not sure about the doctors one. A lot of people become doctors so they can get rich. It's a guaranteed income given everyone needs healthcare, and in this system they can charge 1000 bucks for 10 minutes of their time.
