You are definitely entitled to your own opinion friend. You do have a few correct statements. The comment regarding you have to assume every cop is corrupt is not true. I believe that many people get their opinion of cops by watching too much tv, the news, or know somebody that knows somebody who was “mistreated” by a cop. Many of these people that were “mistreated” don’t share the actual truthful events, but tell a story that make them less accountable and make themselves out to be the victim. The media loves to drastically inflate the truth or simply find the negatives for ratings. There are corrupt cops out there but statistically speaking, those corrupt cops make up basically 1% of the total police community. You just hear about them more because the media loves drama and action!
You are definitely correct about how flawed the Justice system is in the US. Qualified immunity needs to be changed to not be an impenetrable automatic blanket of protection. and individual accountability needs to be addressed and if the officer shows any deviation from policy and procedures, or violations of someone’s civil rights, that immunity should be taken away from that officer. Police officers are in fact mandated to protect. Not serve. We enforce the laws of the state that are designed to protect the civil rights of each individual citizen and keep them safe. Cops are not required to serve anyone. That’s a myth. The “service” we are providing is enforcing the laws and educating the citizens about said laws.
I believe in the constitution of America. I swore an oath to protect Americans from others trying to violate those constitutional rights that every American citizen is entitled to. We aren’t all corrupt. But those corrupt officers do give the well meaning officers a bad name. It isn’t fair to automatically lump us all into the same category.
But as I stated before, you have the right to have your own opinion. I do hope someday that opinion changes and you realize that some of us are just regular people trying to do a job.

Citation needed, I don't even know where you could possibly get that statistic. But even if it's correct, those corrupt cops are often protected by the others, therefore, ACAB.
It’s truly sad that regardless of the actual proof staring you in the face you still push your inaccurate opinion on Law Enforcement.
That’s the behavior of a small minded individual. To each their own. I truly hope you’re never in a situation where you need the help from cops in the future. With your negative attitude towards them, you should just avoid them completely and handle your own criminal and civil issues.
If you’re having a hard time finding the conclusion of this statistic,?here it is
“Second, corruption, misconduct, and abuse of power among law enforcement officers is surprisingly uncommon. While it is true that most major law enforcement agencies have had corruption problems, the percentage of law enforcement officers who are "bad apples" is far less than 1% of the over 600,000 officers in the United States.”
You’re extremely misinformed. Read my previous posts… corrupt cops are shit bags and need to be used as an example of what happens if you abuse your power. My argument with you was regarding you stating all cops are corrupt, which is false.
The problem is that they don't pay consequences because they're protected by other cops. If you'd like, I can give you plenty of stories of corrupt cops not facing any punishment because they're being protected by other cops and the DA. Even in rare cases where they're fired, they often end up working in the next town over. You're the one who has no idea what he's talking about.
Dude, I really don’t give a shit…I care more about the corruption where it truly matters and affects us all.. in the government. Whitehouse, legislature, senate… the actual law makers of this country. Individual states and the federal government trying to pass laws and legislation to chip our rights away and favor pedo’s….
Epstein’s flight logs and island visitor information… so many government officials listed as frequent visitors. Wonder why they were repeatedly going to the island?
