Oregon Rolled A 20

@oregonrolleda20.bsky.social

"Police don’t solve serious or violent crimes w/any regularity, & spend very little time on crime control." They spend more "time conducting racially biased stops & searches of minority drivers, often wo reasonable suspicion, rather than 'fighting crime.'"

Police have shown time and time again that all they really are is a protection racket that is recognized on the national scale. They openly retaliate against any attempts to reign in their power or hold them accountable for their actions.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Once when a friend was threatening to hurt themselves, I called a hotline without realizing they would send cops. Well, those cops argued with them for about 15 minutes and then said, verbatim, "just say you're not suicidal and we'll leave."

Now let’s compare likelihood that the cops solve a crime committed against a person vs. the likelihood when they’re called that that they kill the victim, a family member of the victim, or the victim’s dog.

I called the cops on my abusive ex while we were still married. The female cop took ME downstairs and had me sit in the marked police car to make a report. Meanwhile, in front of my daughter, the male cop told my husband to just divorce me instead of hitting me. Stellar.

There's a question that's nagged at me for a while. What did ppl do for that VAST majority of human history before policing? Were they constantly murdering each other in the streets? No. They had other ways of doing justice. They weren't universally great, they did it without cops.
