It’s more like saying that one dude in your friend group from when you were in your twenties always tried to get in fights whenever you went out went on to murder someone one day without you being there or around. You’re now also blamed for the murder because you ran with him.
Or even better, your older scumbag sibling murdered someone, or parent.
The vast majority of these people aren’t even working together. They barely know who each other are in large departments.
They also have one of the strongest unions in the USA coupled with institutional laws that protect them by default with little statistical tracking.
Those aren’t issues where you blame people through proxy lol.
I think that analogy is worse. If my scumbag sibling killed someone and I didn’t say they were a scumbag and distance myself from them and instead defended them and enabled them to continue being a scumbag I damn well deserve others’ ire.
This isn’t the one bad cop in America, this is just one of many whose colleagues enable and approve of their actions. Often defenders of these shitbags say, “it’s just one bad apple” but they forget the rest of the saying that one bad apple spoils the bunch. In this case, too, the people that should hold themselves to a higher standard as a group are the ones making themselves look shitty by not doing so.
Not sure how people with family and friends of “decent cops” can defend them as a whole, particularly when most of them call on their cop friend or family member to help get them out of tickets. They’re just as bad (lol).

You immediately got it wrong. You didn’t know they were scum. You maybe knew. You didn’t really know though. For the same reason mass murderers can be saints to their communities. Lying to people is easy to them. And most people are believing.
Your sibling was completely normal. Maybe hot headed. It came out they killed someone. That’s it. You’re not going to toss them under the bus. In general you’ll wait because that’s your family unless someone knew better.
You are officially defending them at that point according to you. No matter if he legally or morally got off or was culpable.
It’s dumb. The entire ACAB stance is dumb just on its premise. Y’all too fucking gullible to Russian and Chinese propaganda lol.
Because your analogy is terrible.

What’s with the lol at the end, is this topic a joke to you?
Kids use lol as punctuation
Because what you’re saying is so farcically absolute it can only be laughed at lol.
