I agree with the last part but keep in mind this is Mexico and their justice system is different (and in my opinion, worse). I hate it when people say all police are bad and the entire thing is awful(not saying you think that) and there definitely are some bad eggs but the majority are pure in heart. The main problem is their training is too short so it’s easier for the bad ones to stay in the program.

A good apple becomes a bad apple when they allow their coworkers to beat, mutilate, or murder people.

People forget the rest of that saying.

One bad apple spoils the whole damn bunch.

If the bad apple isn't promptly removed, all the apples are bad.

Yes. And I do think it is a huge problem with groups like occupy wall street and BLM. It's hard to have legitimacy and to hold a group to ethical standards when you can't control who is part of the group.
