Oh God no. Just that our police corruption is different. In some ways we do have less police corruption (primarily direct, individual bribes). But our police system is one of the most broken things in our country.

Corruption is a forever fight. It's important to recognize it's not binary, and to recognize the clean and good where you can.

We can't just throw up our hands and say it's all corrupt. That might even be more damaging than "both sides are the same". We have to fight for specific fixes. This shit requires nuance and takes constant effort.

I totally agree. They’re right in assuming there is corruption, but yes, it takes curiosity and thorough investigation to determine the areas and types of corruption. A billionaire criminal rapist pedophile running for dictator isn’t necessarily the best resource.
