"Debatable"?
You realize that all one has to do to demolish such a simplistic and asinine argument as "all cops are bad" is to produce one cop who is not bad, right?
You may as well argue for a flat earth. Not all cops are bad folks out to shoot minorities. I know this because I know a few of them.
True, I should've said "if you want to make the case that most cops are good... etc."
That's what I meant, lazy phrasing
But when people defending cops say "not all cops are bad" which is the argument i was parroting - they're not saying that they're all bad apart from this one good one i managed to find that lives near me, they're saying that most are good and that it's just a few bad apples we should not focus on so much - that's what's debatable
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
