To me, that's a perfect example of why all cops are bastards. That person is no longer a cop, so it doesn't apply to them. But all the bastards didn't like having their awful behavior called out and pushed out the non-bastard. Thus all cops are bastards.
I’ve heard that before yet when we think about 700,000 different individuals aren’t we almost guaranteed to have one or more cops undergoing a disciplinary process right now (and at any and every moment)?
It’s so badass to stick up for what you believe in, what’s right, citizens’ rights, to the point of getting fired for it - & knowing you’re risking harassment, possibly for the rest of your life you live in that same jurisdiction. If the sheer scale suggests there must be at least one agitator in police ranks at any given time, I can’t in good conscience say “all”.
Stubborn…!
