Thanks. That might apply to 99% of cops/departments.

Somebody here pushed back a few weeks ago with something like “hey I’m in a mountain town and the two guys on our force, who know every resident, are saints.” I also would assume any given quarter, one out of the 800k police in the US is in the process of being fired for e.g. reporting their partner curb stomping a homeless person.

I don’t want to disrespect even one good cop, whether in a remote department or in the midst of being fired. So, I find a shorter one liner that lets me acknowledge POLICING IS FUCKED w/o worrying about gotchas.

PEB!
