    The expression referenced is actually “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch”. So by that adage, they are actually admitting that they are all bad.

    On edit: “One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch” isn’t a saying. It’s a line from a 1970s song by the Osmond Brothers. Take from that what you will.

      And the adage is meant to explain why a single bad apple should not be tolerated. You must excise and discard the bad apples to protect the rest. Protecting and nurturing the bad apple spoils the rest.

    Wait are the police the bad apples or are the police calling the riotors bad apples. Or is a meme whatever we need it to be.
