3 comments and they’re all circlejerking about how this thing we have seen happen plenty of times doesn’t happen, and if it does, it’s deserved.
Sounds a awful lot like how narcissists respond.
“that didn’t happen, and if it did it wasn’t that bad but if it was you deserved it”
where is this happening?
I’m pretty sure the cops also went to that workplace accident. There was a chemical workplace accident where 3 ppl died in my region recently and the cops and firefighters swarmed it. Decontamination showers had been set up and they tried to figure out if someone was at fault etc…
Also, I bet someone actually called the cops on those ppl in the OP standing there. And I bet nobody called them during the oil spill, because nobody knows exactly if it even was a crime and if it was, who is responsible. Those are totally different things. If you want them to arrest the managers ASAP during an oil spill, you would need to document their faulty behaviour and be ready to call the cops on them. Otherwise they will be arrest later, if at all, depending on region, but managers have been arrested for things like that before.
Yeah I mean cops enforce the law. What this meme is criticizing has almost nothing to do with the police and instead is a problem with law and policy.
Right, and cops choose to be cops. They are, in fact, part of the problem. They should not be cops.
People choose to vote politicians who enact and uphold this legislation. If your path to a better world relies on every single person just magically choosing what’s best for society, you’ll be waiting for a while.
Besides, there are countries that aren’t failed states like the US is, and those countries still have police and by and large the existence of police is a net benefit to them. As long as there is crime and antisocial behaviour, the social contract needs an enforcement arm of some form.

Cops do not actually help with this. There are much better and actually effective ways of resolving this.
They do in most countries.
When there’s a murder or a rape or a burglary, someone has to collect the reports and perform the investigation. Someone has to enforce the rules of the road and screen for drunk drivers and document traffic accidents. Someone has to show up to stop crimes in progress when they happen. Whatever public official does this job is functionally police. Calling them militsiya instead of police doesn’t actually change their job description.
A society where none of these things happen is not something humanity is currently capable of creating. It will require a lot of social, cultural and possibly genetic evolution to manifest.
