In case you were wondering what happens with those hypothetical "good apples" you keep hearing about. All cops aren't bastards, but the ones that are demand conformance from the rest. Doing this so openly blatant is a strong sign the NYPD union is too far gone to reform, and should be prosecuted with the laws used for organized crime, because that is what it is.
- spaced-out 3y agoYep, politicians keep saying that most cops are good, but it seems like even the good cops are ok with stuff like this. Whenever this topic comes up you have some people arguing that it's not a big deal. Often these people admit to having these cards and carrying them around but still insist that they aren't valuable. Yet this system has existed for decades across the country. If these cards weren't valuable people wouldn't bother to keep printing them and handing them out. It's clear that the people carrying these cards expect that it will help them get at least a little special treatment.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoThis is basically what ACAB means anyway. It's not that only bad people become police, it's that the individual morality of any specific cop doesn't really matter. The system demands you be complicit in corruption and unjust violence, you either lathe your soul so that it fits or you leave entirely.
- mrguyorama 3y agoIf you actually want to know a "Good Cop", you go looking for someone who switched careers after a while trying to not conform to the depravity of most police departments.
