I've seen people say that bad cops are rare "bad apples."
In reply, it's been responded that it's not very controversial that anyone who stands by and allows something very bad to happen that they could prevent is themselves a bad apple. (Right?).
And anyone who supports a system that allows the very very bad apples to get away with what they doing is and resists reform of that system is, again, themselves a very bad apple. (Right?).
Furthermore, and I guess this is a bit controversial: probably anyone who enforces unjust laws (at least when they can avoid doing so) is themselves a bad apple: "I was just following orders" only goes so far and I presume there is often some discretion on which orders to follow. (Right?).
Given this, it seems like it's not hard to reasonably come to the conclusion that many police are bad apples. Or there are so many bad apples that the good apples are trapped in a system they are unable to change. (Are they trying?)
To seek exceptions, are there any kind of organizations or affiliations along the lines "police offers against police brutality" or "police officers for real justice and fairness"? Sounds silly, but is there any such thing? I would imagine that might be like being a vegetarian who is employed by the National Cattleman's Association or the like: anyone with those motivations just wouldn't want this job in the first place or eventually quit or be ousted.
