One comment I read baffles me—about the friend who says EVERY "cop" is bad based on the misdeed of one.
I don't recall reading that, but I do recall the general sentiment that the set of "cops who know a bad cop just did something bad, and they kept silent and didn't report it" is bad. I don't remember the exact meme but something like:

If 10 cops are bad and 1000 cops know about it and don't do anything about it, then 1010 cops are bad.

And that is correct. How many times do we hear "if you know something, say something." "If you see something, say something."

Should we not hold the police to at -least- the same standard that we're expected to maintain?
