    “One bad apple spoils the bunch.”

    If you have 10,000 good cops, and 1,000 bad cops, you have 11,000 bad cops.

    Here’s the thing, a lot of people like to compare groups: cops vs druggies, cops vs gangbangers, cops vs antifa, etc.

    But of those groups:
    One was founded upon the finding and retrieval of slaves.
    One is paid for by taxes.
    One receives military augmentation via vehicles and weapons.
    One has a disproportionate kill rate amongst the general population of POC vs whites.
    One has an actual union + lobby.

    The police as they are are not a means to combat crime, they are a means to facilitate money for a very non-fair justice system that itself is rife with corruption.

    Edit: and while there are many cops who are “good people”, there are way more “good people” in other careers that don’t have carte blanche to kill.

      It’s so weird how many people only use the first half of that phrase and use it to mean the exact opposite of what it means
