bemusedlybespectacled:wilwheaton:Well, yeah. People aren’t choosing to become police to protect and serve. They’re becoming police so they can harass and murder people with no consequences. #cops at my last school crossed SO many student adult boundaries#one got fired for making comments about girls bodies#so even when they don’t do arrests they do weird shit like that (via @bravebattalion)the off-duty cop my high school hired for this purpose used to harass kids walking from the cafeteria to the bathroom (a distance of about 15 feet) without a hall pass, and occasionally tackle people, including the special ed kids having a meltdown. but he couldn’t arrest people AFAIK, I don’t think he had that authority.after I graduated he was arrested for repeatedly molesting a 15-year-old girl. so, yeah, even when they don’t arrest people they do weird shit like that. -- source link
