ACAB, especially that bastard relative of yours.

The capitalist state and it’s forces in the form of Police and Military primarily exist to protect the private property of the rich. All other functions are secondary.

      Injury should include financially too. Let’s stop the civil asset forfeiture bullshit where your assets are guilty until proven innocent, but they never try you with a crime.

      My local PD has a 6 month academy. Make it 2 years minimum nationwide, and at least another yesr to move up both to sheriff’s departments and state departments.

          I should have been more specific, that’s my bad. The academy alone needs to be 2 years minimum. The fact that the average first year pre-law student seems to know the laws surrounding policing better than most cops is an absolute joke.
