Also? I dont want anyone who wants to be able to murder people with no repercussions to carry a firearm. I mean, I dont really want cops to exist at all but like especially that kind

And it’s not like this is a unique thing.

I’m an aircraft engineer and mechanic. If I leave a solvent bottle open, and an FAA or EPA inspector happens by, I get fined $10,000. If I lose a tool and don’t immediately report it, I get fired. If I notice one of my coworkers doing something wrong and fail to immediately correct it or report it, I go to jail and never work in aerospace again.

A group of mechanics were sentenced to death in 1985 for using the wrong splice plate in a bulkhead repair eight years prior, resulting in the plane crashing and killing 520 people.

I am shielded by nothing other than a paper trail a mile thick showing me constantly, meticulously, and doggedly adhering to every regulation and policy to the best of my ability. I can’t claim that I didn’t know something was illegal or incorrect; it’s my job to know that stuff, and I’m required to refuse to perform work if I’m not absolutely certain that I will be able to do so correctly.

Contrast this with the police in my city: they are trained for six weeks, and then are able to beat, strangle, shoot, or stab a person based on nothing more than their “fear for their life” and the fact that the specific situation in question had not been found to be unconstitutional. There is no requirement that the cops perform their duties to the best of their ability, there is no punishment for failing to be immediately candid about their actions or their coworkers’ actions, and there is no effort to keep bad actors out of the industry. And they make more than I do, for a job that is less dangerous and less difficult. 

Hear, hear. And also this whole “fear for their life”/”fear for their safety” thing/excuse? Is just stupid and an excuse. If it was real, if police are afraid all the damn time then they are in the WRONG DAMN PROFESSION. The idealized version of the job is to protect and serve (note, I said idealized because we damn well know that isn’t really the job: the current job is to protect private property and business and enforce systemic racism and punish people for being poor or black or brown or mentally ill). Being “so scared” of someone because they are black or mentally ill or taller than  you or shopping or open carrying in an open carry state or wearing a hoodie or going jogging or in a parking lot or sleeping in their car or sleeping in their house or eating ice cream in their home or selling loose cigarettes (I could go on and on and ON) that you feel the need to kill them shows that you are (a) a murderer; and/or (b) pathologically afraid of everyone. Either way you should never have been a police officer and you need to serve time in prison for murder.

Why are #kidscrafts so satisfying? Making this #peace #suncatcher for my car put a smile on my face. I’m not a fan of the green #dollargeneral glass paint, though. Terrible consistency! Thank goodness the other colours worked better. #aurelas...
ATC I made for a book page #atc swap on #swapbot I cut the cow image from a falling-apart vintage copy of The Gingerbread Man. It was fun to make! #aurelas #cow #sillybuttrue #childrensbookillustration #swapbotswap #collage #papercraft #nurseryrhymes...
My daughter had a new idea about what to do with an #amazon envelope. She really cracks me up! #frown #aurelas #theprecious https://ift.tt/2NWYYm7
This is the first #atc I have made in years. It was for a “Dark ATC” #swap on #swapbot . I’m afraid it ended up more Faulkner than #Poe , but maybe #southerngothic is dark enough to count? By the way, the little pearls were such a pain! They did not...
Last #craftproject of the summer, DIY water bracelets full of glitter, is a complete and total FAIL. The #glitter just clumps, the water won’t flow, and I can’t get the #tubing to stay in the right shape so we have curved sticks instead of bracelets....
