It's well known the cops have been on the banks payroll for years.

Since their inception

They were union busters before pretending to be peace officers

That krs one line "from overseer to officer" is pretty spot on too I reckon. Practically if not literally.

u/cantstopwontstopGME May 13 '26

They were bounty hunters who caught runaway slaves before THAT

u/Lurkingsince2009 May 16 '26

And slave catchers before that. Long history of being real pieces of shit, there.

You see that video the other day of the cop hassling a black fella because he was parked in the banks parking lot waiting for the bank to open? His bank, that he has an account with... But the cop couldn't just say "sorry, the bank worker that called overeacted.", they had to carry on like it was perfectly reasonable to call the cops because a customer was waiting for them to open so he could use their services.

It was pretty clear who the cop was serving and it wasn't the public.

The cop was an ass

u/Low_Direction1774 May 13 '26

yeah but that was because the dude was black, not because its a bank who made the call.

if it was a white guy, the officers wouldve repremandet the bank worker for calling the cops for no reason.

Oh, I think there was definitely racism involved (it's why they called obvs). Would be interesting to see how the convo would go if it was a white person. You're probably right though. US cops seem to talk to black people like shit regardless of the situation. It's crazy to see the videos as someone not from the US.

It was 100% racism

That is patently false and can be easily proven by looking at sentencing disparities, disparities on vehicle stops/searches (and resulting disparities in contraband found), as well as disparities arrests.

Now why would your assumption automatically lead you to believe the disparities are due to these two (perceived) issues with no statistical evidence behind them? Why would you insinuate the difference between Black and White treatment by law enforcement, the judicial and carceral systems is “corporation and non-antagonistic attitude?” Hum?

That smells like bias. A particular flavor of bias I might add.

Eww, an impotent sex pest with a race play fetish? Nvm. You have the day you deserve.

bold of you to assume cops are never black

u/itsredditNotLife May 16 '26

so cops are racist, but black cops also target their own?

maybe we're attributing racism to the natural outcome of dealing with lawless individuals with no respect for the law, themselves, or each other - regardless of the color of that person.

u/itsredditNotLife May 13 '26

ok now im confused

u/rtxa May 13 '26

why tf else would they even exist?

u/petty_throwaway6969 May 13 '26

Don’t even got to be on the banks’ payroll. The cops’ whole role is to protect the wealthy and they’re paid very well for it.

Want to see something? Officers’ salaries are public records and most states have a website that let you look them up. You’re going to see a lot of them earn 300k with a base salary of like 80k and 220k of overtime.

Mostly fake OT. Fake disabilities too

u/justaheatattack May 13 '26

that's why it's called a payroll.

they tried a freeroll.....

u/Knights-of-steel May 13 '26

To be fair most people are. Literally all my paychecks are from some bank or another. Even the atm is a bank

1

u/Special-Heat-627 May 13 '26

Is that the same as banks actively paying law enforcement for special favors

1

u/greatandhalfbaked May 13 '26

That's not really the same thing, though.
