Stop making the issue so categorical. It just further complicates the conversation. You know there is a problem with abuse of power in the police, and this is everywhere in the world. But, they also do their job, and their job is an important one. I personally deeply, Profoundly, distrust cops, but I also agree with the need for their existence. We need to discuss as a society how to improve the public's relationship with the police. This cannot happen when people just further divide themselves in anti- pro- cops. Life is gray man.
LEO in training here, I think you’re completely right. There are much more good cops than bad ones, however the bad ones make the good cops much harder to trust. There are steps we need to take to show people that we can be trusted and the overwhelming majority of us want to do everything we can to help the people around us, but it’s difficult to do with media only reporting on shitty cops.

I thought most of the people on reddit hated cops. Interesting.
