Can I join his force and get paid to also not do my job?
And let children be murdered as a result.
Man, job perks have really changed since I last looked for a job…
Apparently yes.
Police are not required to help you under any circumstances. Period. They can literally watch you being stabbed to death and just decide they want to sit this one out. I’m surprised you’re just now finding this out.

When I want to see heads explode I mention
- Warren v District of Columbia (the basis for the situation you mention); and
- that Social Security doesn’t work the way people think
- there is no personal account that holds your contributions
- you have no right to get any of your contributions back in your old age – the benefit is defined by Congress and they could make it whatever they want (including nothing)
In both cases one are required by law to pay but the recipient is not required to perform. As they say, “it’s good to the the king”.
Social security is a very different case, it’s designed to be a safety net, even in its inception. There is no claim or language that indicates it’s anything else.
Police however are prompted up by things like “protect and serve” and a lot of other language/guidance/media to be portrayed as protectors, when that’s not necessarily the case.

Agreed, the SSA itself is not making claims that mislead the public.

I agree that’s a problem.

I don’t want to beat the dead horse, but IMO the public language/guidance/media discourse regarding the SSA is as misleading as “to protect and to serve”.
If I were pushed I might say that the security part of social security is an implied guarantee that it will provide security of some kind. It does bolster financial security for many at the moment, but there is no guarantee it will do in the future.
We don’t need cops.
I can at least entertain the idea that people “back the blue” to make their communities safer. But isn’t this the exact fucking thing that they’re supposed to protect the community from? Fuck this piece of shit and every one of those pig fucking cowards.
Uvalde remains the final proof that police militarization has been a complete failure. It has resulted in police that will hold someone down to deluge their eyes with pepper spray, but won’t protect children from a single shooter.
May he never have a night of peaceful sleep.

“Police can shoot civilians in the face without consequences, but they have no obligation to protect kids from school shooters” -the american judiciary
Fuck this country.
Who would hire any of the cops that didn’t bust into the room? “Think of the children”
Well, Ulvade citizens are so Republican they re-elected the sheriff that also did nothing while their own children were being slaughtered, so my guess would be just about any random hick town.
Australia already has new gun laws from the attack in December. We shall eat our tails with bbq sauce!
The system is still working as it’s designed to, I see. Shit like this is why we can’t have good things.
