As someone who has been verbally abused and called names by an aggressive cop while his partner had his hand on his gun… most people in the U.S. think all cops are good, and anyone who was on their bad side did something to deserve it. I flipped off a taxi, for the record. The cop thought I flipped him off, pulled me over, and screamed at me. I was 19.
Even my own family thinks I did it. “That’s why you don’t flip off cops.” Cool…
People also think cops deserve to be shitty because of “what they put up with,” while we have to be on our best behavior or risk death.
What does one bad apple do? It spoils the whole bunch. Police are a spoiled bunch. Fuck cops forever.
This is 100% why for me.
