being a cop is a choice, being straight / gay or cis / trans is not.
I personally would object to my boy being gay but also if my daughter was straight. I just don’t like the mental image of penises around my kids.
Vaginas are alright tho, they don’t enter you forcefully and lay eggs inside like some weird alien, not to be taken seriously tho since I’m also a queer man so yeah…
Well that was a gross thing to type.
Penises don’t enter anyone forcefully either, rapists with penises insert them

So sad because as a kid I said to someone I might want to be a cop to try and help people and they were like uhhh that’s basically what people who didn’t finish high-school do. Little did I know that would be better than what we have now…
there’s a reason pig is not halal or kosher.
I hate how much copaganda they shove at kids. Yesterday mine said his dream job was to be a cop, so he could chase bank robbers. After deliberately not saying six terrible things(a medium length pause), I just asked, “have you ever seen a cop actually do that?” and left it at that.
I’m pretty explicit with my kids about how terrible the cops are. I’ve told them about Rodney King, about George Floyd, how cops lie to trick people into confessing, how they don’t face consequences for their own crimes. Don’t talk to cops, don’t invite them in. Stranger danger x10. If my kids get lost in a public place, they’re supposed to look for a mom with kids. No Paw Patrol in this house.
I don’t want them to become victims today or to grow up to be murderers tomorrow. They need to know and I’m not going to make them guess.
Anyone can chase bank robbers if they’re not a pussy
I’d rather chase bank owners.
Same, we’ll get him there in the end.
That’s a hard choice to make; i mean, you’ll get farther with just an axe because of the weight, but a chainsaw can literally scare the shit out of them
Only one of {gay; straight; trans; cop} is a choice.
ACAB doesn’t mean Assigned Cop At Birth?
Fuck. Something just clicked in my head. So it seems to be that many homophobes are closeted homosexual, denying it to themselves or whatever.
In their mind, is being gay a choice because they themselves have chosen to repress it, to pretend to be straight? Sometimes for years, decades, or their entire lives! Therefore, by that logic, that’s why they don’t seem to understand when called out for making shitty choices, because “the gays” have also made shitty choices (in their view).
Does that make sense or am I speaking bollocks?
Now that it clicked, you’ll notice it in a LOT of statements made by homophobes.
No that’s exactly how it works, how most outspoken homophobes are closeted. They see gay sex as giving in to the sinful urge everyone totally has.
I would even go so far as to say that quite a lot of them are bi, and when they notice that they are indeed attracted to their own gender, they can truthfully say to themselves “see? I can actually chose to be attracted to the other gender!”
Nope, I’ve pretty much heard it verbatim from some church colleagues (I don’t go any more). I love asking, “well did you choose to be straight?”, because the ones who stammer and sputter and shoot back a, “did you?!”. The looks on their face when I say, “Nope! I wish I was, because I have so many gay friends I wouldn’t be wanting for options!” or similar, priceless.
Even the few who get pissed off never have a good retort to that. It’s like watching an old computer struggle to stay responsive. It’s either straight to ad hominems and name calling pretty much ignoring the whole conversation happened like the entire “Question the Gays” app crashed, or they struggle to reconcile their shitty world views for damn minutes on end.
“How to be a good police officer:”
“Quit.”
I’d say arrest your colleagues when they commit crimes, but the department would fire you then either murder you or run you out of town with constant threats and harassment
