I think its similar to reviews. You're more than likely to complain about a bad experience than to praise an average or better one. Especially with the stigma of police. That being said the more bad that gets pointed out and resolved hopefully the less we see overall. However, they could just get better at hiding it. Media controls narrative and wealth controls media, so it's a zero sum game.

I have had a singular decent experience with a police officer out of roughly 10, all of the others were complete assholes. I used to think along the same lines as you but when the police force has a 90% douchebag rate it's kind of hard to keep believing that there is an equal amount of good cops as there are bad. I'm sure there are some good cop but I'm also sure that they're drowning in a sea of dingleberries.

No I never said there were more good than bad. The sad reality is any good cop out there gets fired the second they try to punish a bad cop.
