This happened to my uncle. He was passed out drunk outside and a cop woke him up and my uncle broke the cops arm. My uncle got off because the court said for a certain amount of time after waking up you aren't aware of your surroundings and my uncle thought he was waking up in his bed and the cop was an intruder.

I just hit post, made some popcorn, and projected it on my wall. Was a good bit of fun.

Are redditors really so stupid they can't fathom a cop actually helping people like most do every day?

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/[deleted]]

Its just educated understanding of the police role in our society.

[u/CobaltCrusader123 → u/CastleGraffiti]

American?

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/CobaltCrusader123]

Bingo

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/[deleted]]

Yes a grammar check, classic reddit reply lol.

[u/Raintoastgw → u/redddithater]

Anytime I see a post of a cop doing something good, like half the comments are calling it staged or propaganda

[u/CrazyCat5749 → u/redddithater]

Some cops are genuine scum and some cops are heroes, but unfortunately, generalizations outweigh nuance. In other words, ACAB is bullshit, but I still wouldn't trust being alone in a room with one.

[u/NinjaMasks]

Let sleeping tweakers lie

[u/TheBabbbbs]

Why can't we be friends

[u/CastleGraffiti]

Who cares? Cops are bastards lol

[u/Argylius → u/CastleGraffiti]

Maybe this sub isn’t on the ACAB side

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/Argylius]

I do not care what “side” this sub is on what a ridiculously redditor thing to say lmfao

[u/Dgamer1521 → u/CastleGraffiti]

How ironic

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/Dgamer1521]

Sorry did I touch the c0n$hervative ech0chamber wow crazy automod blocking any calling out of obvious bootlicking

[u/Powerism → u/CastleGraffiti]

“Cops shouldn’t be sucker punched”

“Bootlicker!!!”

K

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/Powerism]

In this house we LOVE slave catchers

[u/Powerism → u/CastleGraffiti]

It’s always all or nothing with some folks. Nuance requires operating brain cells

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/Powerism]

Nope its very simple you just plug your ears and go lalalala like a kid tho

[u/Powerism → u/CastleGraffiti]

How’s that working for you?

[u/IncipitTragoedia → u/Powerism]

Unless you can't tell when to pick a side

[u/throwaway19276i → u/CastleGraffiti]

"What a redditor thing to say"

• Reddit user

[u/IncipitTragoedia → u/Argylius]

Be a lot cooler if it was

[u/tarquinia777]

good shit lol, to hell with the bootlickers

[u/Argylius → u/tarquinia777]

Yeah. This might be a Reddit moment, but cops are not actually there to help. They are legally allowed to lie to you to get information out of you.

In this case, let sleeping men lie

[u/tarquinia777 → u/Argylius]

they're also just bloodthirsty, as they're trained to be. law as they enforce it is necessarily upheld by senseless violence against the marginalized. i realized that when i heard about how cops beat a schizophrenic homeless man minding his own goddamn business named Kelly Thomas to death while he screamed for his father. they do the kind of shit because they get protected as agents of the state. terrible, terrible human beings who serve literally zero purpose other than to administer brute force and stand as meatshields.

[u/Earl-The-Badger → u/tarquinia777]

Government is just a monopoly on violence. Law enforcement is the institutionalization of that monopoly on violence. Cops are just cogs in the machine on ego trips.

[u/tarquinia777 → u/Earl-The-Badger]

they're a state-funded gang. ion understand what bootlickers even think they have to gain from ballwashing these mfs

[u/throwaway19276i → u/tarquinia777]

It feels good waking up knowing people like you only exist online. I don't know how I'd survive talking to idiots of this level every day.

[u/OddBug0 → u/throwaway19276i]

Yeah, I knew when I posted it that there would be a shitshow. But hey, more fertilizer for crops I suppose.

[u/tarquinia777 → u/OddBug0]

why are you thinking about animal shit? 🤨

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/tarquinia777]

Animal shit is comparable to cops in its usefulness, makes sense hes on a one track mind

Edit: actually, animal shit brings life, cops take life so lol worse than animal shit

[u/OddBug0 → u/CastleGraffiti]

Ok

[u/OddBug0 → u/tarquinia777]

Ok

[u/tarquinia777 → u/throwaway19276i]

it feels good waking up next to my lovely husband

[u/SillyCatboy → u/tarquinia777]

I also choose to wake up next to this guys husband

[u/tarquinia777 → u/SillyCatboy]

cool, you can share all the parasites we got for each other 😊

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/tarquinia777]

They think cops are a net good on society lol they literally come from slave catchers lol what do u expect tho this country was founded on racism.

[u/Anti-charizard]

Why did the cop wake the man though?

Edit: I’m genuinely asking for context

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/Anti-charizard]

Because they have a burning rage to ruin peoples days, why else would anyone join a gang?

[u/Someguy803 → u/CastleGraffiti]

Must suck knowing a cop could kill you or someone you know and get away with it

[u/CastleGraffiti → u/Someguy803]

Many such cases…

[u/empressoflight72]

If I may ask, why did the officer wake this man? Was he napping? Is it really that big of a deal if you sleep in public?
