@Mblack1188 People should only help each other if there is an expectation of payment?

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@JasonWoodley33 @PoliceThePolic1 Police are not ubiquitous.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@JerryManderers @JoeSorgea @PoliceThePolic1 He’s not, so.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

The responses to the question have mostly just been “because the cops get paid,” and I just don’t find that to be a very compelling answer. Nor should anyone else.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

It strikes me as misguided to be more mad at the people who saved a man’s life than the people who did nothing at all to help.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@PoliceThePolic1 Why critique the cops who intervened rather than literally everyone else who did absolutely nothing to stop this insane behavior?

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@BigNapzzz @PoliceThePolic1 You’ve said that people should not intervene unless they’re contractually obligated to do so, regardless of any moral or ethical obligations.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@JonlyDonlyJonly @PoliceThePolic1 It’s not a crime to defend others from imminent harm.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@dailydabber4 @Wesgeeky You don’t have to comment about things you have no knowledge of.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@whitesubnc @Wesgeeky Who’s defending a federal worker?

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@BigNapzzz @PoliceThePolic1 Thank you for confirming everything I’ve been saying.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@BigNapzzz @PoliceThePolic1 It is what you’re saying though. You’re saying that because police will *eventually* arrive at an incident, there is no reason for anyone else to intervene, regardless of the exigency. That is the argument you’ve made.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@BigNapzzz @PoliceThePolic1 Yeah, so what you’re saying is that you owe nothing to anyone else in society.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@MaxJax311063 @PoliceThePolic1 My bitch ass absolutely would’ve done something.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@U_R_A_DIPSHIT @PoliceThePolic1 Why would anyone want to intervene to save another’s life? Hm. Difficult question indeed.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@JoeSorgea @PoliceThePolic1 I think they improved the situation by stopping that lunatic and saving the victim’s life, actually.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@BigNapzzz @PoliceThePolic1 “That’s what the money is for” is pretty clear.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@riktopher410 @PoliceThePolic1 From you, that’s a compliment.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@DanBMintin @riktopher410 @PoliceThePolic1 I’ve been a pizza delivery driver. It’s neither dangerous nor noble.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@Wesgeeky Cops get in trouble for using those things all of the time, even when justified.

[Ben @BenTweets94]

@BigNapzzz @PoliceThePolic1 Your argument is that one should only help another if they expect to be paid for the effort. Very telling about how you perceive the world.
