    Some Individual Cops May Actually Be Reasonable And Honest But The Institution Of The Police Is So Corrupted By Vested Interests That There’s No Way To Distinguish Between Those Individuals And The Ones Who Would Actively Cause You Harm Plus They’re Almost All Racist And Mysoginist Anyway So The Distinction Is Largely Academic

      Most aren’t. Every single police officer I have interacted with has been reasonable. I only hear about these issues when they make the news.

      Don’t get me wrong, it needs improving, there shouldn’t be any racism or misogyny in there, but I think just dismissing them as bastards when these are the people who’d put their lives on the line for us if we were threatened is unfair.

        You missed the point I was making that the systemic problems with the police mean that collectively they are all bastards.
