My uncle was one of the worst cops you'd ever want to meet. He not only abused the citizens he was suppose to protect but his own family and there was nothing we could do about it because his buddies were the brass but I don't hold that against all cops because 99.9% of these guys are out there doing a job that you and I won't and they are doing it because they are trying to help society and make a difference.
A “Karen” is a woman that uses the government to bully someone. Someone resisting government bullying is not a Karen.

The Blue Wall of Silence has to come down and those 99.9% good guys need to root out the bad...today. If they say they are few it implies they actually know who is bad and tolerate them. There are a good number who were merely bullies who made a career out of it.

To me a Karen is that nosey neighbor who puts their 2 cents in where it isn't wanted. Rules don't apply to her - only everyone else - so our definitions are different.

I'm not saying that the good cops shouldn't root out the bad - but often as was in my uncle's case - when the top brass are just as bad - there is no place for the good cops to go.

We went though hell with my uncle - guns pointed at us - false arrests - ect.. but the majority of cops are not like that. Don't think you can educate me because I've been there and back buddy.

Bull. No place to go? They are an armed force. If the top brass is corrupt the 99.9% good should stage a damn mutiny. They’ve even got a union to discuss such matters without brass there.

More descriptive, sure. But a long winded title. Neither a paint ball gun, bean bag, tear gas spray, rubber bullet, nor lead is warranted in this scenario. Nor is the go inside order. The only danger on the street was the police.

When the top brass are as bad as he was - I don't blame any of them for not stepping forward as they needed their jobs to support their families. Believe me we tried with our politicians and the local news - no one would get involved because they said it was a family dispute. Until you walk in my shoes - don't give advice.

Yeah, my first urge when I see one of them "flash mobs" doing their choreography is to gun them down
