How would you feel if someone moved next to your residence and you found out they're a cop? Would you move away? Or try to get on their good side? Or something else?

    There was a cop in the neighbor right outside ours ( you have to drive through that neighborhood to get to ours), I thought having him there would curb some of the drug activity, I was wrong. It was obvious pretty early on he was dirty.

      Ah, I didn’t know you were superstitious. I don’t believe in the myth of the clean cop.

        I thought he would not shit where he ate and keep his neighborhood clean.

        Less than agreeable or upright and actually involved in organised crime are two very different things.

          Protecting capital over the rule of law and human rights, or protecting those who do is literally being involved in organized crime.

            Actually, being a cop is legal.

              Cops always defend their bad apples, thus the whole bunch is spoiled.

              For context, I’m Canadian and am regularly downright proud of our courts. Our cops on the other hand, no. Just no. Routinely in the papers for egregious criminal activity and abuse of people rights.

              In the US, the courts and the cops have long been a shambolic shitshow of gangsterism. Your mileage may vary based on your country.

                So? That’s still not what organised crime means.

                  I’ll use the US as its a much clearer example. For profit prisons with kickback schemes from judges.. Illegal arrests and fines to generate dollars for podunk towns, Abusing RICO statutes for civil forfeiture to straight up rob people extra judicially. It’s straight up racketeering.. Almost everything the LAPD, NYPD, Baltimore PD Ever did. They are notorious.

                    That looks a whole lot like like practices you don’t like, but which are legal.
