My mom can't possibly be dating a cop?! That's not what I meant by fuck 12!!!

| Title isn't the greatest, but I feel like my situation could make for a banger lightnovel title.

Long story short, I don't support the police system at all. I have friends who've been mistreated by cops, POC friends who have their livelihoods threatend by cops, I have less rights because of those they defend and it's an inherently oppressive system.

But, as soon as my parents split my mom started dating one she's been talking to for 3 years. Now I sometimes share house with one.


| So take what you will from that information and make whatever lightnovel titles or dumb plots you want with it. While I obviously don't like the situation, it's still just objectively funny.


| Kill him


| Honestly though it's such a shame. Police are supposed to be serving the community, but by making them a separate entity, there's a disconnect. Should integrate citizens into such activities more. Would probably help them know their rights and increase social cohesion and trust in local institutions. But then again, the us has never seemed to have been good at making any sector of their government properly serve the people.

Try not to hate people for doing their jobs though, yeah?

>Police are supposed to be serving the community
Repeat after me.
POLICE
SERVE
CAPITAL

I have to disagree. Police are not supposed to be serving the community. The only purpose for their existence is to protect the 1%. The groups we had before the police system? Yeah. Those served the community. Police though? They never have.
I agree with you as well though. They should. But it's never gonna happen.

I think it's an inherently immoral line of work. Do I hate him specifically? Not exactly. Do I hate that he does what he does? Yes.


| But let's not make this too serious, yeah?
What I think about cops isn't the point of this thread. It's the comedy of the situation.
Two people with completely opposite mindsets like that being forced together by the situation I mentioned. So, >take what you will from that information and make whatever lightnovel titles or dumb plots you want with it.


| *unzips notepad++*
How should I credit you, OP?


| >>798371
Don't credit me g/u/rl.


| >>798377
"The protagonist of this story did not want to be credited.
I have credited her anyway, because she's not a cop. Her mom's boyfriend is."
How's that sound?


| Have you considered talking to your mom about this?


| >>798379
"The inspiration for the protagonist" and then we're good.

>>798381
Her life. Her choices. She's very well aware that I hate cops and why. She couldn't give less of a shit. She's also been straight up bigoted towards me in the past though (finally started being a slight bit better, but still), so I don't expect her to actually care.
At least she seems happy, but I'm now the adult here for about half the week because she goes out of town to visit him when he's not here.


| It must be nice to be the protagonist of a NTR story, OP


| >>798388 well, you complain about your mom being biggoted but its ironic that you hold cops in general as an inherently bad group.

Cops are ment to enforce the law, they arent evil groups made to opress everyone, the real problem is the curruption in government and lack of checks on their performance which then lets bad cops and politicians do what they want, there are good cops out there and you shouldnt assume before they are all evil like that.


| You can hate police as an institution, but as individuals it's weird. There's a difference between the guy hitting people for fun, and the one trying to stop a pedocriminal. The police institution is shit, policemen are a shitty entity, but it doesn't mean that every individual working for the police is shit. Don't transform a protest into a sect.


| >>798367 Well, if you're gonna be like that, then let me contribute to this story. I think it would be hilarious if we push the differences even further into caricatures of yourselves, like the aggressively anarchist daughter having to deal with the bipolar fascist cop step-dad. Eventually they learn to set aside their differences to become a family while each continues burning police stations and permanently physically disfiguring peaceful protesters respectively.


| >>798422 >>798430
Don't compare bigotry to disliking a line of work. Bigotry is hating on people for how they're born. Being a police officer is a choice.

I'm not saying every single cop is an inherently bad person, but no matter how innocent they are they're contributing to a system that's inherently oppressive. Like, sure, they're there to enforce laws. But those laws are there to for the purpose of upholding an oppressive form of government, an those laws don't apply to the 1%.


| Now back on topic with: >>798471
Sure! Go ahead! As long as it's funny I don't really care, and that sounds like it could have lots of potential.


| >>798473 be it a choice or not, you are still generalizing a whole group because of bad apples, cops arent inherently bad, the same way that not all protertors are.

Also no, good cops do fuel the system, they usually work well untill they are fired for not following bad orders, seems to me like you barely know how things go inside the police and is only judging from the polical and racial aspect of it, learn to have some empathy.


| >>798500
>empathy for thugs that pretend to be the law
lmfao


| >>798473 Well I don't really understand how you expect things like pedocriminality to be fought against without a form of police force. And while I'm sure that many do indeed enjoy creating an oppressive government, I also know that many hate the government as well, but they don't feel like they're working for the government, but against criminals. Cops aren't just about hitting people in the face for fun, even though it's easy to believe it.


| >>798500 >>798540
I never even mentioned the violence. I'm not talking about some specific protest or some shit. I'm talking I hate capitalism and the police system protects that system and upholds a bigoted hierarchy.
I don't care if you think that's fine or not. The point of this thread is that it's a funny situation I'm in.


| >>798547 I tend to believe that companies and governments protect capitalism more than the cops. I mean, the police doesn't really have an impact on the economy, does it?


| So have you met the officer, or are you making assumptions of an individual based on the common actions associated with that particular group? If so, why do you support profiling?


| >>798550
Cops uphold the laws and policies that those people create, and tend to make a lot of exceptions to those laws for those people. Then there's also the prisons that make prisoners make stuff that the prisons sell and profit off, encouraging unwarranted arrests for the sake of profit. Also stuff like cops giving out fines, tickets and the fact that paying bail is even a thing.
They also shit down peaceful protests against system very regularly.
So how do they not protect it?


| >>798596
Have you read my post?
>Now I sometimes share house with one.

And then there's the fact that you assume I'm talking shit about a collective because of a few of the people who are in it.
I disagree with the existence of the police system and believe it's immoral to uphold it. I never said a single thing about individual cops or even the actions of cops.

And from now on in this thread I just won't talk more on this shit. This isn't what the thread's about, so stop crying.


| Honestly it's kinda sad that you intended this to be comedy when the truth is this is just kind of... sad. Sad that the police as an institution is like this.

I mean it'll be funny if like, your mom dates this barista you hate from your favorite coffee place. That's comedy opportunity. But a cop is a whole can of worms.


| >>798618 It can still be funny, but not everyone will exactly laugh along.


| >>798621
This. Not everyone will laugh, but that doesn't mean it's not funny.
Is it also a sad thing? Yeah. For sure. But there's definitely some comedy to be found in it, and that's what I want to bring out of it.


| >>798388 Wait, hold on, how is a mother bigoted towards her own kid? What does the word mean anymore?


| >>798608
Considering you open with broad statements as if they're all one collective, I feel like my post wà I. Point. Ditch your prejudices and judge the guy fucking your mom as a person, not an occupation


| >>798637
Ever heard of homophobia? Transphobia? Kids can be born with the skin colour of only one of the parents. There's also ableism. And no, a lot of people don't put their prejudice aside for their kids.
Only two of those apply in my situation, but I think you gotta read up on that word if it's that hard for you to comprehend. Parents being bigoted towards their kids is not an uncommon thing.
Hope that helps, and just to clarify, she has been getting a little better with it.


| >>798716 Ah, ok. In my mind I only associated bigotry with race. Makes sense. I still don't get how you can hate your kid's skin color if you decided to get into an interracial relationship in the first place, but I guess people dumb.


| >>798796
I understand. Bigotry and comes in many forms, but if it's not a big part of your life it's easy to think it's only the most talked about one.
And, yeah, with the skin colour shit, it's fucking weird. But there are genuine cases of people (usually white) having kids with someone of another race (usually black), the first one is racist and gets custody of the kids when the relationship inevitably goes bad, and the kids have the skin colour of the second one. It's scuffed.


| well You can ask your mother what she likes about him.
And tell her you don't like him.
You have to promote the communication between you and your mother.
(Actually, I'm worried that your mom might just like his dick.)


| Remember g/u/rls, all races are capable of racism, bigotry, and everyone can be sexist, men or women, and everyone in between and not in between.


| >>799040
Communication with her is, challenging. If something I say even remotely seems like it might be challenging the way she thinks it can quickly become, not really a conversation anymore.
I think she's aware that I'm not a big fan. He's a very mediocre person with an immoral occupation. She knows that's what I think. But, I mean, as I said earlier, it's her life.


| >>799041
Correct. Everyone can be bigotted. It's certainly a nuanced topic though.
Like, being a minority does not prevent you from being bigotted against other minorities or even your own, for example. Knowing people who are of a certain group doesn't prevent you from being bigotted. Being suspicious and critical of a majority group does not equal being bigotted towards it.
Like, it's a whole big thing and no matter who you are you are capable of bigotry, which just isn't good.
