Then stop fucking doing it. It's that simple

Genuine question; how's that look like for UK police officers?

I ask because in germany, if you're been a tenured civil servant - which like 90% of cops are - quitting means you're subjecting yourself of being poor as shit once you're old for a number of reasons I'll only go into if somebody wants to know.

Which is why I propose there should be exit programs for these people

I mean that's what my future looks like and I didn't choose to work as a goon for capital. Most people alive today in the west are likely to be poor as shit in old age for a variety of economic reasons which do not justify joining a fascist paramilitary.

Um, actually, most people alive today in the west are likely to die before they reach old age. Checkmate, tankies. very-intelligent

I don’t know about you, but I know *my * retirement plan is just dying.

I get it and neither of you are wrong but given the choice between keep doing your job vs. don't do it and suddenly give up a cushy retirement I feel like the scale skews heavily towars the latter. Now there's ample reason to get mad at this but this is why I propose an exit program - works along the same lines as any other of those.

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

I suppose that would be installing those same cushy retirements for everyone, provided by the state

subjecting yourself of being poor as shit once you're old

In America that's just what being working class means

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 55 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is not the work I came into the police to be doing.

Yes it is, you just didn't know it.

the-pigs "there must be some mistake. I signed up to protect capital"

"I must profess I feel bad for you, but not enough to quit my job and work elsewhere"

[–] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Why quit and risk your replacement doing the job when you can play games on your phone to ensure that it doesn't get done?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 39 points 2 days ago

Then quit, pigs. Don't cry about doing a fascism, stop doing it

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 38 points 2 days ago

if it sucks, hit da bricks

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

The implication in that blurb is that they were completely fine with violently arresting able-bodied protestors.

[–] SwitchyandWitchy@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Arrest your masters or at least quit and then we can talk.

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

Cops love to act like being a cop is like skin color, as if they didn't choose to enlist into being a pig

I'll say some are groomed into it, but you can leave at any time

[–] cricbuzz@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

then frag your commanding officer and get a new job!

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

yah we put this fragile old woman in chains

but think about how that made ME feel 🥺

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

It’s going to cause such whiplash when all these types pretend they were always on the side of the Palestinians.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Lol, lmao

Piggies sad
