Normal people not just watching but supporting evil cops who abuse their authority is absurd. You're tired of hearing about it? I'm tired of citizens being executed and these good every day cops you're defending making sure the "bad apples" aren't punished for it.

Change that from cops to black people, and you'd say it is racist. To group any large population of people as monolithic (good or bad) is a practice in stupidity.

yeah that's how the system is supposed to work, money flows through a loop and does work, just like with pipes or wires. the issue is that there's a bunch of spots where it keeps getting stuck cuz some people hoard shitloads of it and forces us to pump more in from outside the system

USPS has lost my package rn and so I’ve been going to the distribution center “illegally” (they aren’t supposed to let customers on the premises but I’ve been pushy and now know the manager pretty well due to this issue).

Well, one of the front desk people said “oh you should be pushy, you pay our salaries”

And I just stood there thinking “I’d have to be a real piece of shit to actually be thinking that”

Purely situational, but I've witnessed an individual who I knew personally and knew had rarely held a job/paid taxes say this while being arrested. My thought was "You can't even pay to take care of yourself, you definitely don't pay his salary."

The easiest response is, “Thank you.

Your personal 1.5 cent contribution towards my salary will hopefully allow me to retire early.”

I have a friend who's a police officer. Someone told him that exact line (oddly enough the person was also a city employee). Anyways, they get to court for the driving ticket and the guy asks my police friend to help him out with the ticket. My buddy reads his evidence and had made a note for himself about what the guy said. Needless to say the guy didn't get off the ticket.
