I used to work for the Medical Examiner's Office. I've picked up more than my share of rape/murder victims. You wouldn't believe the shit I've heard cops say about the victims. I've only ever met a few detectives who really cared and were decent human beings, and coincidentally, they all came from years (or decades) in some other industry before joining their departments as detectives because they had advanced degrees. Never met a single uniformed cop or "promoted from within" detective who was anything other than a soulless piece of power tripping shit at their core.
I was a medic back in the day in a large city. Cops are assholes. Big goofy dumb goons. I've seen them do the dumbest shit. Light a smoke for a dead man. Was just one example. I sat at trial two times just to fuck up a cops day cause they routinely fucked people up for no reason. Goons.
Nothing made me more ACAB than having to work alongside cops.
I got stopped for speeding once at work.
With an MI patient (heart attack) who was unconscious and we were doing CPR and pushing drugs. Had lights and sirens and were on a pretty much empty 4 lane divided highway. I was doing 25 over the speed limit. 5kms faster than allowed by law here for an emergency vehicle but I also had a lot going on inside the truck. No leeway allowed. I got a ticket, that's not the terrible bit though as you read.
Speeding. I had a screaming match with that fucker on the side of the highway. It almost came to blows honestly. Stopped seeing cops as protectors that day. I was 18 and a month into being a full fledged Paramedic.
ACAB all day every day.
