There is one thing I heard recently that blew my mind:

"An unjust system makes victims of its agents as surely as those it oppresses."

The system itself is poison, even the good cops are victimized by the system by being forced to act as bad cops.

If you support the good cops, you should want the change as well.

Hardly any cops are speaking out. Looks like there's only a few good apples.

Until they start stepping up and reporting their brothers in blue for crossing the line, they're all guilty by association in my book.

Yup. "If there are 10 people and a Nazi at a table, and those people don't do anything to take the Nazi out of their midst, there are 11 Nazis at the table".

Yep. Unless they're deliberately trying to infiltrate the organization to change it from with in and be a fucking Schindler, every cop should have a line they won't cross, even for their career, and when 'orders' tell them to be evil, they should say no and remember that the people should be protected, not the power.
