Yeah that's backfiring badly in the radical left states. One congresswoman who voted to defund the police got mugged and is screaming why the police didn't help her. The people get what they voted for.
I've never had a bad experience with cops personally and I've had tons of encounters. That said there are undeniably a certain level of corruption and overuse of power happening still today and I'm all for rooting out that corruption and holding those accountable, but I wont wholesale write off all cops and I recognize societies need for policing. Reform and retrain? Absolutely! Defund and discard? No.
That's what's great about video games. We can do things in them that we would never be able to do in real life. Would I torch a police car or fire a rocket launcher at an ambulance or steal a fire truck and step on the gas to plow through random pedestrians in real life? Of course not. Have I done so in games like GTA? Absofuckinlutely. That shit's fun as fuck, but only when it's fantasy and not real with no real consequences. Like all professions, there are good and bad cops. There are plenty of surgeons who are pieces of shit and plenty or not. There are plenty of janitors who are wonderful people and some more terrible.. I think the vast majority of cops do do the right thing. Yes, there are some who abuse their power and commit crimes and I think they should face different punishments than regular civilians. A few years ago in the Chicago area, there was a cop with the last name Gliniewicz ( I think that's how it's spelled, just going off memory) whose first name is escaping me. He'd stolen maybe tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars from a police run program and then in an attempt to cover his tracks claimed that a suspect or suspects were chasing him and ended up killing himself. That guy was a piece of shit. Most don't do that. There was also one who was driving drunk (I believe and I 290) and killed someone. I hope he had the book thrown at him, literally and figuratively.
