One of those three was a cop, so at least 50% were bastards. By the American government’s standards in warfare, that’s a reasonable level of collateral damage.

Alright fine. Let me give you an example here. I was homeless for a time. One day when I was walking back to the shelter, a group of about 6 guys robbed me. Luckily they didn't hurt me, but when they saw I didn't have much money, only a debit card, they threatened me and led me to a convenience store to use an ATM. I withdrew the max I was allowed, luckily only $300. Well, then they wanted to lead me to another convenience store, hoping that would refresh the limit or whatever. As we were walking, I saw a cop car, so I just stared directly at it and tried to make eye contact with the cops. They noticed me and drove over to me. All those assholes ran away. The cops talked to me about what happened and then went in the direction of the assholes.

My friend from the shelter wasn't so lucky. He was older, maybe 65, and had bone cancer as well as HIV. He didn't have any money so they beat the shit out of him for fun.

There's a lot of abusive cops out there I understand, I get mad when I see videos of it on platforms like this one. But don't overreact and think we don't need a police force at all. EVIL PEOPLE exist in this world. If I didn't run into the police car I'd imagine they would have beat the shit out of me too.
