Yeah, I agree 100%, and this is why the "few bad apples" angle falls apart. This is a widespread problem with the culture of many police departments. It's not enough to fire the murderers themselves, we also need to ask:
- Who hired them?
- Who trained them?
- Who supervised them?
- Who looked into the previous excessive force complaints and decided they weren't a problem?
