Good analogy. Imagine if there were no good cops
There are a few but we must assume all cops are bastards as a matter of self defence because the consequences of being wrong about it are atrocious. But you know that, don't you?
I do but I’m open to there being good ones. Assume they’re bad but be open to the idea there might be good ones
Any individual cop may prove they specifically are not bad right now, but keep your guard up because it only takes a bad day to change that, and/or the system and constant exposure to bad cops and stupid laws and criminals to grind them down
