That’s not my understanding. “All cops are bastards” because even the “good” cops are complicit in a corrupt system. A cop who is actually a good person can’t remain a cop for long, because they would have to fight the very system that they’re a part of. In order to remain a cop, you have to remain silent to the injustices that you’re aware of.

I agree. I’d argue though that these two directions complement each other instead of being contradictory.
