    FUCK YOU, KAREN!

    A rare instance of good cops. Although I’m not so sure…They might’ve just wanted to spite Karen for the false report.

      The kid knew this all along… Karen and cop are just pawns in his 4D chess.

          In general, I agree when that one gets called, however this case just feels mostly feel-good (once you get past the obvious racism). The kid wasn’t out there trying to make money for a wheelchair or his parents rent or so he could eat. He was saving for a PS5, a luxury good, and taking the initiative to try to make his own money for it. Karen, being racist, called the cops. And the cops decided (correctly) that Karen was full of shit, and decided to help the kid buy something he wants. Not needs to survive, just wants.

      Good cops do exist. The problem is that when a good cops does something like this it makes a kid really happy, but when there’s a bad cop somebody fucking dies. It’s not that there aren’t enough good cops, it’s that any amount of bad cops is too many and instead of purging them the system protects them. I’d rather have 100% neutral competent cops than 99% good cops and 1% bad cops who are protected by the system to continue murdering people.
