I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone defend police and not use the "bad apples" expression for some reason.

- bryanlarsen 6y agoI think the expression "it's only a few bad apples" started out as an ironic expression but got picked up by those who missed the irony. You're right, I do see it applied this way to police everywhere. And it's a self-defeating argument every time.
