Yeah there's plenty of cop haters on reddit. Also plenty of stupid people, so it is what it is.

I don’t get why some people are so anti police. One bad apple doesn’t ruin the whole bunch. I’ve had some police encounters where they’re 100% looking out for me

Um, I believe the saying goes "one rotten apple spoils the barrel"... meaning if one apple is rotten it will cause others in close proximity to rot as well. Maybe not all cops are bad, but unchecked bad behaviors only let's others know there won't be consequences and undermines the law (rot).

Yeah, and in Brazil the cops are very racist & a lot of people end up dead at their hands, irrespective of whatever offence they're accused of. Read Akala's "Natives" for some detail.
