    Probably over 100 million police officers in the world and not a single moral person among them trying to do good? Not even one? Really?

      It’s literally their job to enforce oppression. Moral cops stop being cops when they realize that, no, they can’t change the system.

      Cops harm other people as a matter of course. It’s routine. There’s absolutely no reason to make excuses for that.

      There are probably many many people that are police that are trying to do good. But police in America have a huge PR problem. Doesn’t help that there are departments that don’t hire quality people for the job and that there is a union that is a bit too aggressive in there defense of some police that probably do need to be fired.

      My feeling is that the police in general are under trained for the work that they are asked to do and in turn everything problem is a nail that needs to be hammered down. It breeds an “US” vs. “THEM” culture in the departments.

      Until there are no bad cops there are no good cops. Code of silence is criminal.
