See, cops are trained, in basic training to believe that EVERY civilian IS a threat to them. The original idea I'm sure was meant to be more like "every civilian CAN BE a threat to you". Which is actually true. It's meant to be more like danger on the streets can come at any time. Instead, it's now taught as in every single cop IS being targeted by every single civilian with death threats. Which just factually is not true.
But my brain has an overactive imagination. MY brain likes to take absurd concepts and flesh them out to their realistic natural conclusions. What WOULD happen if every civilian wanted to kill every cop? And the answer all depends how far the government wants to go to protect cops. Because without military intervention, the end result is a lot of dead civilians, but also EVERY cop being killed too. And if that happens, or even threatens to realistically happen, do the military get called in to keep the people in line? And how do they handle it?
And there are three outcomes.
Military says fuck this, and doesn't get involved.
Military gets involved, but gets swallowed by the vast overwhelming numbers of civilians. Without a military in place, the USA falls to another power. Maybe even a new internal one.
The military treats the usa as a police state, and goes to war on itself. I'm talking full WWIII levels of violence. Atomic bombs, flame throwers, drones, they basically go scorched earth on itself.
And all of this can be completely sidetracked if the police don't treat the people who've done nothing wrong as active threats.
What the shit, dude
My head is a very dark place where realism doesn't die to protect the sugar coated mature of society.
Also, you don't even WANT to know how life would turn out if cats suddenly gained the ability to talk. It would start would gender clashes among the poverty stricken, and would eventually turn into a world where chickens outnumber humans 100,000 to 1, but they're just the pawns in the food wars. Shit gets real.
