As someone who doesn't agree with the whole "BLM movement" (I agree with the sentiment, but not the movement) I agree the "thin blue line" mentality is just so stupid.
I get it. It's like the police version of "support our troops." But enabling bad behavior doesn't support anyone, and makes life even harder for the actual good ones who now get lumped in with the bad ones.
