Not really after bodycam videos became a thing. Now we can all watch practically unlimited examples of what actually happened from those people who say, "I didn't do nuthing, the cops are just racist."

Brah, there are still plenty of body cam videos of cops just blasting black people for no reason.

Remember the cop who heard an acorn fall and started blasting? What he was shooting at was a black guy handcuffed in the back of his squad car.

As well as a suspicious percentage of times when the body cam is mysteriously out of commission, but someone else got the video.

This bullshit about "body cams proves cops never shoot for no reason" is just some right wing talking point that you people spread among your echo chamber because you forget that everyone else actually lives in reality.

Lol wtf? Nobody said "cops never shoot for no reason". You're inventing strawmen to be angry at.

You obviously haven't been watching many bodycam channels. Yeah everybody's seen the acorn cop who went viral on social media. But for every 1 video like that, there's 100,000 more of dealing with stupid people being dipshits.

Seriously, try to watching some. MidwestSafety is an S-tier YouTube channel, but there's many others. Pretty soon you'll realize 90% of the job is babysitting adult children. Seriously, you can make bingo cards with "call my mom"/"call my parents" for 20-30 year olds.

Here's the thing, it doesn't matter if cops do their jobs 99% of the time. It's their job. It's what they are supposed to do. The thing that matters is the times when they don't.

It's like Epstein. Nobody cares about all the women he slept with who were consenting adults. It's the kids he fucked that we care about.

"it doesn't matter if cops do their jobs 99% of the time."

LOL, fuck you it doesn't. 99% is a great fuckin' percentage of cops doing their job, and I'd very much like that to continue.

Everybody already agrees those 0.01% of videos where something horrible happens, are horrible. Everybody already agrees, and you're too dumb to see it. Because you're overly focused on the 0.1% of voices that get over-amplified by the internet saying it's not.

People like you always seem to misunderstand, "cops" and "police" are not one person or group. It's hundreds of thousands of completely different people with different backgrounds and experiences and beliefs and bosses and departments.

Yeah. Catholic priests too! They are not all to be painted with a single brush. Plenty of good ones. Right?

99% is insanely bad actually.
