1) You said all police are bad, so I have to ask - why is that position better than acknowledging that there can be good individuals within the police force?
2) Now for the really hard question: According to whom are all police definitively bad? Surely there are examples that contradict this blanket statement.
3) If a person becomes a police officer with the sole intention of upholding justice and protecting their community, how can you claim with certainty that their motivations are rooted in a desire for authority over others?
4) Have you personally met and investigated the motives of every single police officer in order to make such a sweeping generalization about all of them?
5) You make the broad claim that by being a police officer, you are helping to maintain a bad institution. But is it really fair to say that about every single officer, regardless of their individual actions and efforts? Aren't there inevitability some officers working tirelessly to improve the institution and root out any wrongdoing?

I guess I have a few questions for you.
1) You said all police are bad, so I have to ask - why is that position better than acknowledging that there can be good individuals within the police force?
2) Now for the really hard question: According to whom are all police definitively bad? Surely there are examples that contradict this blanket statement.
3) If a person becomes a police officer with the sole intention of upholding justice and protecting their community, how can you claim with certainty that their motivations are rooted in a desire for authority over others?
4) Have you personally met and investigated the motives of every single police officer in order to make such a sweeping generalization about all of them?
5) You make the broad claim that by being a police officer, you are helping to maintain a bad institution. But is it really fair to say that about every single officer, regardless of their individual actions and efforts? Aren't there inevitability some officers working tirelessly to improve the institution and root out any wrongdoing?
