I don’t like lumping in the individual with the group. I hate blanket statements. All they do is enforce the „us vs them“ mentality that, in my opinion, is a big part of the problem in the first place.
But I also have the privilege of living in a country with a fairly well trained and regulated police force (Germany). I know it’s not perfect but it’s also not terrible.
Most individual cops I‘ve met do their job for the right reasons.
I’m not a fan of lumping either, but it is literally in their job that they should be holding their peers accountable the same as every other person. They don’t, so even if they’re the individual cop doing it for the right reasons, they still have a burden of duty that they are shirking. Thus, in the lump they go.
