I also object to calling cops "pigs." Someone very close to me works with police every day, and I hear stories about many cops who enjoy throwing their weight around. But many of them are good people, just trying to support their families while protecting society. I'd hate to live without them.
tesla69, while providing a voice of dissent, is also someone that no longer believes the system can be fixed. Therefore, he goes overboard time and time again, losing credibility in the process. It leads one to wonder what tesla69's point could be if it is not to inform and be a potential catalyst for change. But sadly, it seems tesla69 feels we are all so doomed that he revels in bad news and bad thoughts exclusively in self-fulfilling prophecy.
Although I don't share his ultimate sense of pessimism, I do understand it. It's just that I've know the type and for all their grumbling, none of them ever has any kind of real brain in their head. In short, they are just as narrow-minded as the people they rail against in many ways.
