    The problem is that there’s no real oversight AND the cops will fight to prevent oversight. They love the ability to sexually abuse children and get a slap on the wrist. They love the ability to just have more leeway with the law than anyone else. Because they are the law, and their buddies will cover for them.

      Right, I know why ACAB is a thing, but this doesn’t answer any specific part of my question.

        If you’re a “good cop” you aren’t a good cop. Good people quit the force, because enforcers who only protect property are rather useless to most of us. Unless you have the will and guile to infiltrate precincts nation wide with trusted people to transform enforcers every where, you aren’t changing them. Because thats what the KKK did to get us here.

          How long do you think it takes for a new “good cop” to go through the meat grinder and quit or get fired?

          This is not rhetorical, I genuinely want to know.

            Answer with nuance: depends on the person and their mental capabilities to be around such utter corruption with a hope of changing it. Most probably quit when they realize the entire thing is just racism and capital enforcement in a trench coat.

            Bandwagon answer: good cops don’t join the force, they start community programs.
