Topic	Why is it unpopular opinion to say not all cops are bad
averagejoel 06/07/20 12:13:49 PM #86:	abaddon41_80 posted... A lot of people in this topic are simply stating things like this but as Patchwork has pointed out, there is no statistical evidence that "good cops" are the minority. If you show me 8000 videos of different police officers abusing their power or committing "brutality," and I seriously doubt anyone could even find half of that, I will show you 1% of sworn law enforcement in the US. If you could somehow provide proof of 80,000 bad police officers, I will show 10% of sworn law enforcement. If you are saying good cops are in the minority, you are saying over 400,000 officers are bad. I keep on hearing talk of police officers being murderers but they are significantly more likely to be killed by the general population than the general population is to be killed by them. all cops, as part of the terms of their employment, agree to enforce all laws. this includes laws that are unjust or cruel. cops are not bad because of the actions of a few of them; they're bad because they're cops. --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:940312004] in Why is it ...
