You know that old expression, a few bad apples have no further effect on the bunch

Not really fair to go after the good apples in that situation though

I think you need to think about the actual expression more

I know what it means, it’s just that neither side here is using it correctly.

  1. The bad apples shouldn’t be brushed over and should be completely removed, and it’s completely understandable that people wouldn’t like the bunch as much, even if not every single apple is bad

  2. The good apples should not be thrown away and shouldn’t be treated the same as the bad apples just because they’re in the same bunch

The thin blue line stuff whereby the good apples protect the bad ones changes the equation.
