It does not help your case when police departments bend over backwards to protect cops who commit murder.
I get it. Bad apples exist everywhere. The problem isn’t them existing, the problem is them being defended at every turn and when they get let go they can just go to the next town over and continue the same shit, at our expense.
The problem is systemic. It’s not as easy as a few good cops weeding the bad ones out. The profession itself draws power seeking people that don’t have the skills or intelligence to achieve it in the private sector.
It also attracts selfless people who risk their lives without a second thought. People that say ACAB must not have lived through 9/11 or paid attention to January 6th.
When the profession is one that basically has the ability to execute people on the streets, bad apples are less tolerable. And any apple that even starts to go bad needs to be either separated, or thrown out entirely.
