I think you are saying that because some cops are not scumbags we should not hold any of them accountable for their actions. And I disagree.
Let's take this example.

Have you ever been pulled over for having an air freshener on your mirror? I haven't.
Have you been pulled over for a broken tail light or brake light? I haven't...although one time a cop did pull up next to me at a light and wave as he lowered his window. I lowered mine and he said, pleasantly, "your left brake light is out." I thanked him and bought a replacement bulb.
Funny. No gunfire involved! But then, I'm white.

Quote:Driving while fresh: Black man pulled over by Rhode Island cop for air freshener dangling from mirror
Quote:After handing back the paperwork, Murphy points toward the car’s windshield and says, “You can’t have this obstructing your view.”
“Come on, are you serious?” Harris replies.
“Yeah, I’m serious, you can’t have that there.”
“Air fresheners? … That’s the reason you pulled me over?” Harris asks.
“Yup,” the officer says, not giving a ticket and the returning to his cruiser.
