RE: Good Cop/ Bad Cop - The Ireland version
Being nice does not make a cop good. Cop's always attack people it's their job.
Maybe not you at that time but the next person they will rob, control and harass.
I know a cop who told me that he and his college where somewhere to steal a car from someone. He said the other cop was rude, and that he did not like it, he said that he was nice.
Well it does not matter at all. They stole the car.
And being "nice" saying; I do not make the laws I just enforce them. Does not absolve him from personal responsibility. It's the same sentence as; Just doing my job just following orders.
Cops are also funded with stolen money, which if you don't hand it over they come with guns to your house and take it. It's a protection racket.
I'm not saying you do that though.
peace
Thank you for your extensive comment @wordsword! I absolutely agree with you. A nice gesture or attitude doesn't make a good cop. I always tell my children they can be anything they want, but if they'd come to me telling me they want to be a cop or join the army, I would feel that I failed them in raising them. And I'd put my foot down so they wouldn't do it.
And yeah, there wouldn't be any bad cops if there were good cops. The only good cops, in my opinion, are no cops. Anarchy. We can manage to 'govern' ourselves.
That being said, my stories were more meant as a metaphor.
This works in general. Being nice will get us much further in the long run than always being rude or nasty to people.
To clarify......I meant Being nice, as a cop, does not make you a cop good
Being nice yourself...... even to cops could be a very good thing. Self preservation might be a reason for that.
I get what you mean. I guess if most children see what it is that a cop does without al the euphemisms used in statist language then through their own reasoning, they don't even want become cop or military.
I agree a greeting, a smile, or a nice gesture works wonders in the world
Thank you for the reply
Peace Have a nice day :)
