"You'd be actually a really good cop cause you're a fucking idiot.. you don't show up, you're incompetent and you love America." Just an all-timer from Slime lol

“False alarm, cat’s white. keep moving” got me

Aiden looks like the new young intern at NASA that saves Earth from a meteor in a sci-fi movie.

I love that the arguably most hated profession in the country is telling you to get a different job

Nothing like playing Simon Says with multiple Simons giving conflicting commands, at gunpoint.

The most hilarious part of all this was Ludwig understanding police brutality in America from the perspective of YouTube copystrikes

slime being mad they haven’t replaced the snacks he ate when he doesn’t even live there is pretty on brand

slime laughing abt getting shot and killed by the LAPD in front of everyone in their front yard definitely shows how committed to the bit he is

I live in LA and recently had an actual break in situation where I had to lock myself in my bedroom like the movie taken and call the cops to drag the guys out. And even in a real scenario LAPD was just as condescending and unhelpful. They were demeaning and slow to believe anything I said against the word of the intruder who had barricaded himself in my roommate's bathroom. They eventually asked me "so uh do you want us to arrest him?" while the dude is in handcuffs 5ft from my front door. Like sir??? What's the other option?? And then after all that the detective forgot to serve me the subpoena to testify against the intruder so he just got to walk. Just incredible levels of incompetence all around.

This got me so angry. Listening to all of them talk about it succinctly and pointing out all the "oh but maybe YOU did something wrong" like no. There's NO reason for them to actively instigate people into panicking. And then Ludwig just calmly mentioning they pointed GUNS AT COOTS. A KITTEN??

I'm very glad that you guys spoke out openly about this situation - my worst experience to date was when arrested my entire family aside from me, just freshly 18, and my under-age brother, and held them in the facility for 3 days, refusing my mother medical attention for her asthma which could have killed her. Thankfully, my family was left physically uninjured, but as a Hispanic family, it was the scariest, most isolating and disheartening moment of my life. I have never been able to look at the police the same way, it doesn't feel like it's a safety thing at all. Me and my brother had to spend Three Kings Day, a Puerto Rican holiday, alone. There were zero charges pressed because they completely messed up and were very aware that they were in the wrong arresting EVERYONE. As they were arresting my father, they kept asking him "who does this house belong to?" because he was Hispanic. Once they had him in cuffs, that same police officer told my father that "It's my house now." It absolutely disgusts me to hear their accounts and how harshly my family was treated in their hands. We were nobodies to them, just something else to shove in their cars and move on - it was just a "job", not an extremely traumatizing event that could have left me without a sibling, mother or father. Through and through, your point of the police officers having a similar mindset to receptionists but with the ability to kill is very true, and super upsetting. Thank y'all for speaking out.

"False alarm, cats white. Keep moving." Bro Nick's one liners are incredible

@cole7274 4 years ago

The whole "normal person who would otherwise be doing a normal, low wage job like cooking" is extremely on point. I'm applying to government jobs right now, and I constantly see new positions in all aspects of law enforcement (officers, front desk, prison and juvie wardens) going for roughly $22.50 an hour and the only requirement is a high school degree. The system is completely lacking in training or education.

@pokelover9801 4 years ago

Hearing how little communication there is in the police system is INFURIATING. I work for the ambulance service in the UK as a dispatcher and it has warning markers for names, addresses, even general areas. The calltakers can see them, dispatch can see them, and it’s dispatch’s job to inform the crews of these or to make sure things like ‘no sends’ are properly cleared with the people who are authorised to make that decision. How they don’t have that basic feature to hand is ridiculous, especially for somewhere where this has to be a frequent occurrence, like the LAPD. What an absolute shit show.

we learn as kids "the telephone game" how stories change rapidly by word of mouth, and we let police operate like the telephone game but with guns lol

What's the difference between the police and firefighters? "Firefighters also beat their wives but at least they run in the burning building" Thank you slime for another great opinion piece, marvellously done!

@desmondhume 4 years ago

the day i found out that the guy who used to play grab ass with me and a bunch of other girls at my college got a job as a cop was the day i lost all faith in the validity of "police training" lol

The quick bounceback from you guys is really admirable. No one should ever have to deal with what you’ve had to deal with this week.

I hope the rest of the year is safe and healthy for all 4 of you, plus QT and assorted zippers
