There's thieves and cut throats in every profession. Nothing will change that.

^ Good point !

When I saw the video, one of the first things I thought was, How would I feel if that happened to me while I was doing my job? TBH, I'd feel a lot more aggrieved than those cops looked. Then, because DMcC's job is well-known here, I tried to imagine DMcC having buckets of water thrown over him at work and decided that it's more of an outrage for any other professional apart from policemen - as if they are somehow a legit target. That's weird imo.

As people are mentioning, there are thieves, cut throats and dick behaviour in all jobs. I once had a particularly acrimonious argument with an unbending bank manager and am wondering now if I should have gone the bucket of water route...

What would you consider to be good reasoning for treating policemen differently from regular civilians? Many Americans despise police officers because a lot of laws that they're enforcing are unethical, plus it's far from uncommon for police stations and academies to train officers to enforce the law unequally.

and then the way the job works reinforces dick behavior

also got to question why we send so many of them into communities that are like "no thanks fam"

most of the cut throats aren't cops though

If there's no law there's nothing to disincentivize anyone from just killing you and taking your ****.

Personally I think the real answer is anarchowahhabism. That's the spontaneous and decentralized adherence of all people to Sharia law.
