Generally speaking I believe the officers want to do the right thing, but the system is an intertangled web of perverse incentives.
I'm willing trust an officer as a person, but not as a part of the system.
- scarface_74 3y agoMy thoughts are there are hardly any good police officers. I think if any officer saw another doing anything illegal or would get them in trouble, 99% of the time they wouldn’t report them. The Blue Wall is real.
