Comment on American cops think they're what American firemen ARE.

I’ve met some really good cops. I’ve also seen a bunch of corruption and bad policing.
I don’t think it is fair to call all cops bad. They are the ones who respond first when you need help.

So, genuine question here… Were the good cops tolerating the corruption and bad policing? If the non-cops can see it, the good cops definitely can. Tacit support allows the system of corruption to continue functioning. So if they were tolerating it, were they actually good cops?

What would you have them do? The fault falls squarely on the leadership of these problematic departments
It also doesn’t help that funding and people are in short supply. It is very hard to replace a police officer
