Agree, there are absolutely horrible police systems, same as there are horrible people everywhere. The other side is also true, There are honorable police officers doing honorable work in many systems, protecting society like it’s their own family. Let’s not forget about that.
I feel that the horrible systems get more media coverage, therefore pooling the good cops with the bad ones.
Nobody covers all the times a cop takes down a dangerous person that poses an immediate threat to someone else.
There are no cameras around when a cop takes down a guy who just beat up his wife.
If the problem is with the system, then it doesn’t matter if an individual person is good or bad. Good people working within horrible systems still do horrible things. They can’t do honorable work because that literally is not their job.
I’ve seen so many police brutality videos. They never get easier. Fuck.

no, horrible cops and horrible people are not equivalent. the profession is tainted, all cops are bastards.
