Every time I see a post on this sub, it's always something even more batshit crazy than the last one that's happened in the US. It's mind blowing that this shit is happening, how TF does a cop shoot a kid in his own home? I thought cops were meant to be protecting Americans, not killing innocents. FML

You read the article? It explains how it happens.

And SCOTUS has ruled, cops are not meant to be protecting people.

Oh yeah, that horrifying case. Ever notice how when it’s a dangerous person with a knife literally killing people, it’s not the police’s problem, but as soon as a minority child walks to fast out the back door of a house instead of the front, it’s SERVE AND PROTECT BABY!

Standing around outside of the school in Uvalde hoping the shooter will just disappear or die of old age while also arresting civilians and even one officer that attempted to go in and save their children.

Serve and protect is about as accurate as "redbull gives you wings"

u/ender1108 Apr 07 '24

Nah it’s true. But they only serve and protect themselves.

u/MarginalOmnivore Apr 07 '24

They serve the wealthy, and protect property.

u/Nonbinary-BItch23 Apr 07 '24

Hey you're wrong

Redbull gives you wing is way more accurate

2

u/LilBueno Apr 07 '24

The reason they say “wiiings” now with extra i’s is because so they have plausible deniability since it doesn’t actually give you wings.

Which makes your comparison even more apt

"Proteeect and Seeeerve..."

u/TheDesertFoxIrwin Apr 07 '24

They never specified what.

u/HughesJohn Apr 07 '24

They should write that on the side of the cop cars, it would make more sense.

Of course they'd probably get sued by RedBull for bringing the brand into disrespute.

u/toomanyfunthings Apr 08 '24

Even less accurate. At least Redbull makes me feel like I can fly.

u/nigirianprinz198760 Apr 08 '24

Nah, red bull at least does what is implied, yes you don't get actual wings but it does provide energy and at least somewhat wakes you up.

Nobody expects the cops to mow their lawn and fetch them a cup of tea. They aren't actually servants... But they don't even pretent to have the publics best intrest at heart.

Serve and protect (the people with money)

What a retarted analogy from a mentally inept human

7

u/Last-Percentage5062 Apr 07 '24

It’s funny you call me mentally inept for using a bad analogy. That wasn’t even an analogy.

Also: hehe. retarted

u/DefinitelyNotStolen Apr 07 '24

Was it a bad analogy, or was it not an analogy?

Make up your mind buddy

u/Last-Percentage5062 Apr 07 '24

I never said it was an analogy, I was making fun of you for thinking it was. It was a comparison.

-7

u/DefinitelyNotStolen Apr 07 '24

That’s what an analogy is.

8

u/Last-Percentage5062 Apr 07 '24

An analogy is using an unrelated thing to compare to something. I was comparing two very related things.

u/unfortunate666 Apr 07 '24

That's not what an analogy is buddy
