So you say that cops doing a good job and acting unselfishly is expected, which would imply it's the norm.
You then go on to say that becasue it's expected/the norm that it should be ignored in discussions about the behavior of cops.
So if cops acting properly is the norm, why then do you seem to always jump to the conclusion and actively try to spread the idea that all cops are horrible people who at least codone, if not actively participate, in the rare incidents that just about everyone agrees are cops acting in a way that no one should, regardless of their job description?
I love that style of debate.
You belive that an entire profession is corrupt and to back up your argument you admit the reality is the exact oposite of your premise but still present the extreme actions of a small minority, as representative of the majority, who's behavior you've already admitted is not what you are presenting.
Makes perfect sense to me.
