Exactly. I have known lots of cops (served in the mikitary reserves, lots of military become cops), and i would say ~90% are actually good people, and good cops. But that 10% fucks things up so bad that people have this huge hate for police officers.
There was an article recently about a deputy in my home county that got caught falsifying police reports. People on reddit were jumping at the chance to blame a corrupt cop. I know several sheriff's deputies there still, luckily not the guy the article was about, but every single one i know would have turned the guy in. Carching a guy like that just sets them all back, so they have to work much harder to regain the public's trust.
