    I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it’s a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole “brotherhood” thing is performative. I’ve had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can’t wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.

      I used to regularly visit a kava bar that happened to become a hang out spot for cops and military people. Honestly they didn’t seem that bad. One guy would come in every day for a kratom we’d take shells together. He played Slay the Spire on his switch, would ask for tips cause he kinda sucked.

      Really they take easily impressionable young men and through the system mold them into something toxic. We become the roles we play. Shakespeare or something
