If you went to an orchard to pick apples and the farmer told you that there were a few bad apples in there that might kill you, then that is not "just a few bad apples", that is a bad orchard.
Unfortunately this is the exact same argument the odious Trump Jr made when he argued against taking in Syrian refugees. If you have a bowl of skittles and one or two are poisonous, then you shouldn't take the risk. It's a ####ty argument no matter who it's applying to, to be honest, even if I am angry at some of the brutal cop videos we're seeing.
