When I say absolute, I say it because there is an implied universal in your statement, if you trace it with logic.
Your claim is that cops by definition aren't good because they enforce bad laws and violate property rights.
This means that no person who does those things can be good, or to formalize it;
"There does not exist a person who violates property rights and enforces bad laws who is good."
Through manipulation in formal logic, we can get to
"For every person, they cannot both be good and enforce bad laws and violate property rights."
That's a hell of a claim.
That means if a person walked around curing cancer, comforting orphans and providing sustainable food sources to starving people, all out of the goodness of their heart, but enforced the law specifically against Holocaust denial, and occasionally trespassed, they would be a bad person.
Yeah, pretty much. But the trespass would have to be intentional and regular, and the person would refuse to pay restitution. Good done doesn't excuse bad done, especially when the bad is intentional or done daily as a condition to keep getting a paycheck financed with stolen money.
There can be no such thing as a "good cop". Period.
