I’m not saying there aren’t criminals the cops need to be looking for and catching. I’m not saying that. That is what I hope they are doing. That’s what I expect of them to be doing. Instead, I think they are just looking at anyone and everyone as a threat, especially minorities. It works out better that way. Policing is a business, not a service in this country. They don’t even know why they are out there most of them.
I simply cannot agree with this. When you call for help, they come. They do not sit on the phone asking for a charge or telling you how much it is based on your reason for calling. They come not matter what. That is a service. Just like the fire department. There are bad apples in every job and that includes those paid by tax payers and those that are not. Walking in to a gun fight or domestic violence situation and putting your life on the line for a complete stranger is not a business, it is a service that a select few choose to do. Very similiar to the fire department and the service. There are very few jobs where you put your life at risk every day and those are 3 of them.

As long as there is a spray cap on it, there is no issue.
Not sure what they thought they were doing wrong or how they are going to enforce that? Usually when that happens on such a hot day, you fix it later when it cools down. That’s what they do in New York City.
Honestly on a hot day like that, they should be down in that city doing it FOR THEM. The people shouldn’t even have to open the fire hydrant. NYFD should be doing it for them truthfully. Protect and serve
All it takes is one cop to be having a bad day & getting doused with water, & then beating the living crap out of one of these guys & then the racist card gets pulled & then it snow balls into protests & escalates into people rioting in the streets. It can easily get out of hand.
Thats their duty. That’s what they swore to do. But do they do their job when they get to the location they are called to? Most of the time no.
Ive seen a cop come to a public park to ticket people’s cars. Trying to generate revenue at a PUBLIC PARK. It’s a business. When everybody isn’t held accountable for the same crimes. It’s a business. When the goal is the conviction rate and not the truth and facts and real police work. Yeah, it’s a business.
Problem is most of you think they are your friend. They are not your friend. Trust me on that.
