Cops have a life and death job. Sure, there are some bad ones.
Guess what? Among criminals, there are many, many more bad ones. Some are serial killers. Some are physical abusers. Some hurt people just for fun. Cops are dispatched to deal with them all, on behalf of the public.
So we should hold cops accountable, yes. But we owe the majority of them (the good ones) all the support we can provide. Because they don't get paid much, and they put their life on the line for you whether you recognize it or not.
