no, pro gun people are pro police people, and they pretend that even though they're not required to protect citizens they will. as we've seen in texas they won't, they're cowards. these same people also say often that being a police officer is a dangerous job, last year something like 50 cops died due to criminals, thousands of citizens died due to cops. 50/700k officers die.


Aren't you pro-gun?

Reminder that even if police are specifically stationed to stop somebody, and they see that person, and they have a numbers advantage, and they have all the equipment they thought was necessary, and they actively see you getting murdered.... police have no legal obligation to intervene. Even if there are a dozen children getting murdered right in front of them.


Pretty much. It's a moral thing.

It's because fundamentally our Justice system is there to funnel people to jail. Not actually protect or serve. The current model of policing is focused on punishing property crimes to allow capitalism to function.

You're overthinking it. Police exist to enforce the law.

They did, didn't they?

Allowing children to die on account of cowardice is despicable. They should be terminated and shamed. But making police accountable (legally) for the protection of citizens at large is a big can of worms, which is why the Court ruled the way it did.

It's how our justice system as a whole was created. Police and the justice system in general exist primarily to protect property and property owners. Modern police departments come out of the industrial revolution and the transition to capitalism. They replaced things like the hew and cry system, and then the bounty hunter system in England and France (although France also had a history of police being part of the military). In the United States they also came from the need to return property (slaves) to their owners.
