But it’s important to remember that there are literally hundreds of millions of police/civilian interactions every year. Some of the worst ones are shared and brought to light, an unfortunate number are probably not. What you certainly don’t see is the vast majority of ‘positive’ interactions.

But when have we seen cops anywhere working to reform the situation??? In this country we had all sorts of protests and they were usually met with more disproportionate violence. Are there any law enforcement agencies that condemned the Portland incidents? Any fraternal orders of police coming out and acknowledging the problem and trying to push for changes? All I see is more and more people doubling down on the thin blue line.
I know the saying is played out, but I keep coming back to the whole 1 bad cop, but 10 good cops do nothing is actually 11 bad cops cliche.
