Homey, you’ve got some serious emotional issues.
I think we look at the world very differently. I see the world as a good place with some bad shit in it. Something tells me you are always looking for the bad stuff to justify your negative stance in life, completely forgoing all the good stuff in the meantime.
You tore me apart for saying policing could get better if we got better people to do the work. Sounds pretty logical to me. Fine if you don’t agree, but address the argument.
I honestly feel sorry for you. And when you come back with some hate filled response about how stupid and lazy I am, understand you mean nothing to me, I pity people like you because anger and hatred have absolutely corrupted you 100% and your children will pay the ultimate price. I guarantee there is not one person alive that enjoys being around you. And that is sadder than anything I could imagine.
Even if I’m wrong about everything I said here today; at the end of the day I’m going home to a beautiful house on gorgeous land, with a beautiful view, and I will be greeted by people and dogs who like me. And after dinner, I’m going to go soak in the hot tub and enjoy a chocolate milkshake.
I wish you the best in your life, but I cherish mine too much to voluntarily subject myself to people like you. #Ignore
Nah, man. You’re entirely wrong about me. I have a fairly similar analog to how you describe your life
My problem is always seeing the same stupid argument for why there are so many problems with police/military. And I get it, with this being such a mil/leo heavy forum. But there are very real answers to why the problem is the way it is, and it’s not “just find better people”. If you genuinely would like to understand the problem I can point you to some explanations.
And, here is the paragraph describing the book I linked to, since you asked for it
“Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions. Very quickly three groups emerged within the battalion: a core of eager killers, a plurality who carried out their duties reliably but without initiative, and a small minority who evaded participation in the acts of killing without diminishing the murderous efficiency of the battalion whatsoever.
While this book discusses a specific Reserve Unit during WWII, the general argument Browning makes is that most people succumb to the pressures of a group setting and commit actions they would never do of their own volition.
Ordinary Men is a powerful, chilling, and important work with themes and arguments that continue to resonate today.”
I’m sorry I overreacted. This argument always grinds my gears. Have an amazing weekend
