yes they are. so give them what they want. Do you have an honorable police force hidden somewhere in your ass? If not, shut up!

"If you can't personally and instantly fix the problem shut up!"

I wonder how the boot tastes. Probably like crack considering the arguments you are coming up with

I'm not going to be gaslit into thinking that desiring to live in a community without human excrement on the streets or random stabbings, via increased policing is 'licking the boot' or 'smoking crack'.

Right, so the only options that exist:

1 - The police is absolute and can do anything they want, and unless you have a magical police force in your pocket you can't complain.

2 - The police doesn't exist and every city is covered in excrement and random stabbings.

There's no gaslight going on, we just don't see everything in black and white like you.

I think it would be better to simply replace those cops, return to community policing, make the police department a 4 year degree program, and ban all that silly "warrior" training and displays of things like Punisher logos.

I don't think "let them hold us hostage by refusing to work" is the right answer.

Aren't "displays of things like Punisher logos" protected by the First Amendment?
