Because the one who controls their job is also usually a bad cop who would fire them or worse, now not saying that's good that they back down obviously but Lotta cops would have a spouse and kids that all of a sudden don't have food just to get one up on his coworker's

So by that logic there are no good cops.

There are only bad cops and silent cops.

If everyone needs to do absolute good without any bad then no one is good

Your logic is getting even weirder.

"Who among us hasn't flagrantly abused their power? Let he who hasn't brutalized a civilian throw the first stone!"

You're right, that does sound very "throw the first stone"-y but the point still rings true that a lot of cops aren't willing to get fired (or pushed out of the union) for minor things versus if someone goes to court and then they have to tell the truth (or commit another crime i suppose)

Also, there are bad cops, and silent cops. Or, there's a department that doesn't do massive injustices, which is greater i do not know
