All Cops Are (lying) Bastards.

You'd think that traffic cops, being out in traffic all day every day, would be able to distinguish one vehicle from another.

You're being too kind to these murderous fucks. Have you heard the tale of Chris dorner?? Dude gets fired for reporting excessive force. Dorner starts killing police. In their manhunt, they shot an elderly woman and her daughter for "matching the description".
A white male, also "matching the description".
When they corner him in a cabin, they burn the whole cabin down with him in it.

You mistake my facetiousness for kindness.

Sure, maybe I could see a good ol boy forgetting the difference between Japanese pickups such as a Titan and Tacoma (assuming they had the same cab/bed size configuration), but it's fucking embarrassing to confuse a proper pickup with a crossover-missing-some-roof such as a Honda Ridgeline. The original Ridgeline did NOT have a normal bed shape.

Yeah Dorner got screwed, but let's not pretend that he only targeted cops.
If I recall, he murdered several family members of cops (adult children, etc.). Maybe I'm forgetting part of the story but I don't think they deserved it.

Yeah, in his writings he specifically wrote he was going after the cops and their families that wronged him, but i just used him as an example of cops can't identify shit and will attack anybody "fitting the description". Like Dave chapelle once said, "calling all cars, be on the lookout for a black male between 4'7" and 6'8".

Though, as we see here, it would be more accurate to say "be on the lookout for a black or brown or slightly tanned male or female or person of ambiguous sex, between the heights of 3 and 7 feet, between the ages of 5 and 105. Suspect should be considered armed and dangerous, and may be hiding in any home. You should consider yourself to have a-priori probable cause to enter any residence, or discharge your firearm in any direction you feel appropriate at any time."

He killed 4 cops and the adult daughter of the police captain, which I read but did not confirm was training to be a cop herself. He specifically avoided killing non cops, and that's what got him caught because he didn't kill the couple that reported him, instead temporarily tying them up.

Didn't he also kill the daughter's husband/fiance who wasn't involved with the police? Also thought there were more non-cops, but I haven't really read about the incident since it happened

Nope. It's all linked in the Wikipedia article that was posted here.

I’m going to imagine he quit because he recognized the part he played in sending an innocent woman to hell and decided to turn his life around.

Thats... a very vivid imagination.

the only good cop is a dead cop.

I'll tell my wife's sister, who splits her time between the fire department and the police. Can we raise her when she needs to put the fire out? She also moonlights as an ambulance attendant, so we'd have to resurrect her for that too.
Nuance.
Edit: remind me what you hate the most about firemen and ambulance people? Be sure to phrase your answer in the form of refusing care.

If she's a cop she supports the fascists. Yes. Goodbye.

Poeple can be good and bad, or good in one situation and bad in another. Just because someone does something good doesn't disqualify the bad that they do. My first roomate was a firefighter. She loved what she did, but she was also a ceral cheater who cheated on her fiancé with multiple men. When he caught wind of all the men coming and going from our place she threw me under the bus and said I was the slut. That man probably still hates me for my fabricated sins to this day. Her saving people and pets from fires didn't negate the fact she was lying to everyone to cover up her multiple affairs.

Nothing. I didn't mention anything about firefighters or paramedics.
Firefighters and paramedics provide services that are useful to society. Police .. well, they don't.
