I used to have that same belief but watching "good" cops cover for bad ones made me realize they're all scummy.

I agree even this guy but life has nuance and I felt this was info that is pertinent to the meme.

There is always some nuance, but in general most morally upstanding people drop out of training or are pushed out of the force in some way.

That's the rub, ask yourself why doesn't it happen more often that a "good cop" calls out a "bad cop?" It just seem so rare. I don't understand why, these are people from the same community. 🤷‍♂️

Good cops are usually punished for calling out bad cops. The system is broken.
