    But you’re not wrong. It’s a sampling bias.

    I only know like 2 dozen cops. One’s an absolute blowhard, but the rest are decent people. I don’t expect them all to be nice, because I’ve seen reports on TV otherwise; it’d be foolish.

    The cherry-picking starts with US newsmedia. I’m glad our cops are different, at least.

      The problem that brings up the idea of no good cops is, if these 23 other cops are good, and this one is bad, why is there still the bad cop? Why do the other 23 not push that bad cop out?
