All Cats Are Beautiful
Back in the day, there were police departments that would only hire the oldest son in a family. If you were a combat veteran with an older brother you were out of luck.
They wanted men who'd been leaders from the time they were children.
What day are we talking about here? Because that seems like an old house wives tale that is attempting to white wash the violent history of policing.
There was no time period where police were actual leaders or responsible with their power. The history of modern policing can usually be traced back to slave hunters or privatized security agencies who were mainly used to murder labour movements.
What in that statement says that I'm 'whitewashing' the police?
The police were almost 100% male, except for a few prison matrons or undercover detectives. They also had restrictions on height because they wanted officers who could intimidate any suspect.
And you seem to have a wild idea about what the word 'leader' means.
Looks like Axecop
The one time I'd disown a child based on their gender.
License and registration ma’am.
I, too, think this.
It is kind problematic to say things like "all cops are bastards"
Police offers already have a tough time as it is. Let's not make it worse.

Hell no, complete opposite, make it as unpleasant for cops as it needs to be for them to literally fucking quit!
I think this is an over simplification. Unless you think enforcement of rules themselves is evil, then you have to acknowledge that some enforcement is evil, and other enforcement isn't. Enforcing traffic laws, for example, is pretty important, and not something I'd consider evil. If a cop spends all their time handing out speeding tickets, that's annoying if you're the one being fined, but very good if you're a pedestrian.
Cops don't enforce "the system" they enforce specific rules of that system. The evil comes in when cops enforce evil rules.
Tell me you haven't watched Serpico without telling me you haven't watched Serpico.
This has to be bait.
No. Let's make it much worse.
All commenters are bastards too
