    I refuse to change my opinion about all of law enforcement over the isolated actions of a few good apples.

      Exactly. I’m sure there were nice roving horsemen out on the steppes, but they were still with the pillagers.

      this validates your opinion. the good apple has been thrown out by all the other apples, lest it unspoil the whole barrel. it’s a self-healing, antifragile system designed to perpetuate abuse and lawlessness.

      You cant be a cop and be a good person.

      They are fundamentally opposed like matter and antimatter. and like matter/antimatter, they annihilate eachother on contact.

      If you are a good person, and a cop, You will either quickly end up forced to quit/fired as you take a stand against the institutional corruption, casual racism, ethical violations, abuse of people, and more… Or your fellow cops end up arranging your death.

      this is why police agencies have gone to court to fight for the right to NOT higher qualified candidates who know the law, who know how to behave, etc etc.

      Cause they don’t want respectable cops.

      They want under educated highschool bully types who are quick to get down with the corruption if it means they can wax their Authoraween on the poor unsuspecting public.

        In corrupt systems being corrupt isn’t an option; it’s mandatory.

        A good example of the cadet to pig pipeline is padding overtime. Whenever you see a cop charged with anything, one of the charges will inevitably be “theft of public funds” or some such. That’s padded overtime. But now imagine you’re honest on your timesheet. You look like the laziest cop now.

        Same thing for arrests, tickets, or any metric used to gauge performance.

          They also love to pick up arrests near the end of their shifts so they can spend hours of milking overtime doing paperwork at your expense.

      I mean, this is literally a prime example of why people insist (correctly) that ALL cops are bad. Because if they’re good for 3 seconds, they get fired or chased out.

        And won’t get hired anywhere else. It’s fucked up that people can cancel someone else with just firing them.
