Agree there are a lot of bad cops yes. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that or rather to imply that all cops are animals.
I dunno why you're getting downvoted. I agree. It's unfair to animals to be compared to such vicious and nasty creatures.
It’s like the saying goes, a few rotten apples spoils the bunch.
There’s no such thing as a good cop.
We need to stop calling them apples. I've never seen an apple get kicked out of the bushel for trying to report rotten apples.
Acab those in the system help prop up the system

This is exactly the same thing as when news hits that another man has raped/murdered a woman or when a red state removes healthcare for women.
Ofc it's not all men or all citizens that are bad, but enough of them are that it causes huge problems.
Instead of saying "not all" we need to stop accepting that there are any ... because it's our problem to fix.
I agree with the cold-cut basis of your statement. The problem is life is like an RPG. If you need to interact with the police force, even if it's you calling them for help, chances are that you're gonna role a 1 and have to deal with a bro-cop.
So what do you say when you see the cops? Fuck the police! Corrupt pigs.
