That image reminds me of the Botez gambit.

It doesn't, though.

The problem is the institution, not the nice people that think being a cop is a good way to make societies better.

There's shitty cops, and the command chain that does nothing about it. That's the problem.

Antagonising common peoples dads, and the people trying to be nice cops,and failing, is not the way.

We have to point at the right problem. And if you point at the corrupt chain of command nice cops will back you up.

Yeah, but we have to go after the systems heads, not for its fangs, or claws. These can be used against them.

Well, I get it. There's better places to spend ones time than being a nice cop.

Either they comply of they're out. But... You know. People are pressured to pay for housing, and food, and health. Maybe they're paying for someone's cancer treatment in their family. And cop work pays well.

People don't have much of a choice. We're all fucked. But individuals are not the problem here. The system is. The chain of command is. Capitalism is.

Fuck the police, as the repression apparatus for the bonjoursie state. Care for the people.

That's, again, an institutional problem. Yes, down with those institutions!

If money wasn't needed. If people had access to dignified work to pay for housing, food and health, they would have a choice.

Cop work is always available, on a very low entry bar, paying generally better than equivalent positions elsewhere. And shitty people get to vent their violence unchecked.

Nice cops "just" have to sell their should a bit. Some people get desperate and are willing to pay the consciousness price.

In my opinion these positions shouldn't even be available, the whole chain of command should be replaced by people representing the oppressed classes, committed to ending oppression.

I'm not defending police, I just think the criticism has to focus on the institution problem, not at the individual problem. Individuals are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, systems are everything.

I think it's fair to say that "nice cops" see themselves as civilians, and representatives of the population, trying to improve things.

Soldiers are military, and a very different category. But! I read many US military personnel go in there because superior education is not really accessible anywhere else. So, maybe there's a gray zone, there? Cannon fodder soldiers from poor strata die first, in any war. Most don't want to be there.

I have particular views about IDF being an genocidal maniacal occupation force for a colonising state that commits innumerable crimes against humanity. That you're probably not interested about.

And I have particular views about NATO using disguised Nazi Ideology in puppet states to seize and control it, that I also wouldn't think you wouldn't be particularly interested about.
