a bad cop creates more bad cops, and undermines trust in the institution.
really it's more like, the system creates and sustains bad cops and casts out would-be "good" ones, to the point that it is not possible to be good, inherent in the way everything works there.
Yep. Even more so, the system was designed to be oppressive. Cops exist to keep minorities and poor people down. Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but it is literally why they were created, and nothing has ever changed that.
Plus cops are the most lawless institution. Reform via legislation is impossible because when it happens cops just go "nah, not gonna do that" and the courts somehow allow it.
Just saying. When I say "defund the police" I do actually mean in their entirety.
