I think maybe you are both right. You can have individuals who think they are doing good working within the confines of a body that is sometimes and in some capacity malignant. Law enforcement as a practice is ultimately the act of treating your own citizens as enemies. I think for the most part we have extremely well intentioned people in those roles. I don't think Hoover had outwardly malicious intentions - for example - but I do think an agency with an agenda to disrupt civilians that have political ideas that run contrary to policy goals or administrative priorities, even if its composed of nuns, will inevitably be malicious.
