    Your individual experience where you were helped by a cop does not make them good.
    They could’ve done plenty of bad stuff to other people on a different day.
    And he wouldn’t have to do something bad even.
    When he’s part of that systematically corrupt entity he is obligated to keep his mouth shut and cover for all the scumbaggery of others.
    Then you are not a good cop.
    You can get into it with good intentions but when you oppose abuse or dare to speak up you will have repercussions.
    Even get killed by them for breaking their precious blue line.
    So no, there are no good cops.
    I don’t have anything against police in principal, there are plenty of countries with honest cops, even if there are unavoidable bad apples.
    The US is not one of them.
    And only getting worse.
    Trained to be aggressive and authoritarian and given near impunity.
