          When did we go from “the ones not being shitty cops are enabling the ones who are and are therefore bad” to “literally every cop is itching to shoot unarmed harmless ten year olds”

            I think it comes from the perception that in order to survive in a corrupt organisation, one must be willing to be complicit in corruption.

            Therefore, they hypothesis is that the “good cops” were weeded out long ago.

            It’s not that every cop is innately murderous, it’s that the institution itself presents violence as it’s main tool and protects its use against scrutiny.

            Put another way: to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
