Of course cops have agenda's. EVERYONE has an agenda in life.

I’m just not buying the premise that everybody in America is a murderer waiting to happen.

If they are: Can they leave it at home when they suit up?

If not, they don’t need to be carrying a gun & badge.

For Once I agree with you but make no mistake about it. Cops are a money making entity of the City and State they work for. When they defund them secretly they just tell them to arrest more people and give more tickets and it only gets even more policed. They are there to make money not defend anyone. Look at what the supreme court has decided twice on if they HAVE to protect people both situations they said they have no responsibility to protect the public. So then what do they really do?

And for once I agree with you. Revenue-generation is a significant part of what the police do and we need to talk about it.

We don’t need to defund the police. We actually need to pay them more to attract better candidates.

(We could do without the tanks and other military equipment though, which is what “defund the police” is really about as far as I understand it. At least for most.)
