    So basically he’s saying he has no faith or confidence in the criminal justice system? Wouldn’t that kind of… I dunno… disqualify you from a job in the criminal justice system?

      I’ve think a lot of cops express how unhappy they are with the justice systems. Imagine getting a call for a domestic abuse. Show up and see this piece of shit beat his wife and kid. You arrest them and put them in jail. 6 months later you get another call same fucking guy same fucking thing. The courts gave him a reduced sentence. Rinse and repeat for your career. You’re catching the same dirt bags over and over and the justice system keeps putting them back out there cause they either are too lenient or under funded to handle them. Cops can make the arrest but have no control over the justice system. I get a lot of us hate cops but I think we can all empathize how hard it would be to see the same people every couple months victimizing the same people

      "It’s cops fault, it might be my fault.”

      He’s on some level aware how fucked it is and his part in it. But it seems like he’s desperately asking someone to tell him “no it’s not, you’re helping!”

      His whole rant is about how the governor and legislature are against him, and he doesn’t quite grasp why we voted for that.
