    I worked as an EMT for a bit and quit because even working NEXT TO cops made my fucking blood boil. You can’t even comprehend the level of evil that these shit bags get up to, and the level of violence that they are able to perpetrate. They literally don’t see other people as humans.

      Like the “thin blue line” is not some excuse for us to excuse the existence of the police. It’s an excuse for them to have to justify their own existence.

        The concept has its roots in fantasies of being the final line of defense against The Zombies us-foreign-policy and that ideology requires dehumanization to justify slaughter.
