Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

I'm currently finishing up the last episode of @iwriteok.bsky.social's Behind the Police (How The Police Declared War On All Of Us) and hoooo boy was Terry correct here.

Always be quoting Vimes, Tiffany and Granny Weatherwax.

Fucken hell that is some capital T Truth right there.

The only good cop

Sir Terry knew what he was on about, that's for damn sure

"A policeman IS a civilian, you inbred streak of piss!""

Yeah, this one has stuck with me.

Damn, Terry. Spitting science, as they used to say.

This and the below attached William Adama Corollary have caused me to become super pedantic to friends and family whenever they insinuate police are not civilians.

as always: ACAB includes Sam Vimes, but he is more aware of that fact than almost anyone few fictional characters have ever had a better grasp of the dangers of the police
