I have done no glazing. In my comment I brought up that bad ones exist, as well as good ones, and proposed a query why someone would disregard the good ones in a large population.
We can debate whether good ones exist if you'd like. I do find it an incredulous statement to say though, that across the entire world, that there is not a single amazing cop.
It is plainly evident to see that both sides of an extreme exist. I have removed the word "small" in my original message to emphasize that I don't know what percentage are good or bad, as it is likely subjective based on what threshold or metric you use. It is evident that both parties exist though. I imagine most cops exist in the middle somewhere at neither good nor bad. Simply doing their best and its straight average.
Is a cop bad if he makes a few mistakes over his career? I don't think so, we are all human.
Is a cop bad if he intentionally bends the law to enforce his will upon others or any of the other reasons I would condemn a person who is working as a police officer? Absolutely
I personally hate the polarization that the current state of debate is in. Can we not discuss things logically, and not devolve into tribalism and assumptions?
I refuse to write a TL:DR on a comment my size. It is not long. And if it is too long for someone: I am genuinely not interested in their opinion. (No offense to that person as well. If you cannot take the time to read my comment you probably don't have time to discuss it or reflect on it)
