do the right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?

like when it's like a lady and a cop and the lady seems like a normal sorta boring suburban lady

do you know what i mean. this is one of the things where if you try to ask an AI bot it yells at you

There's a lot of stigma around cops now

And tbh most of it is deserved

Yeah, the rotten apple nonsense has been shown to be just that. The Met in the UK have been repeatedly shown to be institutionally racist and sexist

Yeah, it's the expected outcome when you grant a group of people a monopoly on violence but with insufficient to non-existent incentives for good behavior and insufficient to non-existent disincentivizes for bad behavior.

That's exactly the opposite of nonsense; it's proving the point. They get called "bad apples" specifically because the idiom is that "a few bad apples spoils the bunch."

The people who say "it's just a few bad apples" as if that excuses it are the ones who don't have the slightest fucking clue what they're talking about.

No, the theory is that removing a few bad apples is all that's needed to solve the problem when it's actually systematic.

The barrel is the problem.
