if i shut up and deal with it what would happen to our future? and btw i would never become a cop. i study philosphy on my own time and i teach myself. and i understand cops deal with stuff day to day but dont take it out on the good guys. thats like a unstable man carrying a gun and handcuffs wtf now? if cops become unstable because some ganster knocked up his wife and i have no means to protect myself wtf whos there to police the police? only the people and if it keeps going the way its going we wont be able to protect ourselfs.
