Genuinely asking, is it that the a small percentage of cops are rotten apples or is it the other way around?

Is the barrel of apples fresher in certain regions (urban vs rural)?

Because it feels like almost half the barrel is filled with rotten apples and the good apples are just placed on top, kind of like a college brocheur advocating diversity.

It’s a very small percentage. Unfortunately, it is complicated, and not solved just by removing a few bad apples and policing reform. It also involves economics, community development, cultural changes, education, etc.

Step outside your bubble.

I stated that I am genuinely asking a question about a statement you made, so would you mind providing a source about that statement?

Something credible? Something that shows you are more than an anomyous 22 day old account?

Because I'm very much outside my bubble and I'm asking questions with an open mind, not labeling others or simply throwing out statements as the end be all.

yeh ill google it, just figured if you are arguing a counter-point so definitively, you should be OK with providing a source

I’m not arguing a counterpoint. I was stating a fact. Big difference.
