Why in the hell should I “empathize” with a police department that tried to cover it up until video was shown?
You should naturally expect some amount of badness in almost any sample of humans, including the police.
And the “badness” seems to only affect people who look like me...
But as Chris Rock said...
Well, it’s not most cops. It’s just a few bad apples. It’s just a few bad apples.” Bad apple? That’s a lovely name for murderer. That almost sounds nice. I’ve had a bad apple. It was tart, but it didn’t choke me out. Here’s the thing....But some jobs can’t have bad apples. Some jobs, everybody gotta be good. Like … pilots. Ya know, American Airlines can’t be like, “Most of our pilots like to land. We just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains. Please bear with us.”
