He’s right about Ice being the American Gestapo (An immoral group that thrives on bigotry and hatred)

But claiming MOST cops are good when not even half of them are. (Even his most tantamount predecessor Alfred Hitchcock feared the police, and for good reason too.)

    Idk I think willingly participating in a system that is openly corrupt, violent, and racist kinda says some stuff about a person’s character as an individual. I think the only good cops are honest enough about their jobs to leave the force.

      A lot of people believe that they can change the system from the inside. It doesn’t make them bad people. Mislead maybe, but not bad. What makes them bad is prolonged existence in the system that is purposefully built to break or push out anyone who doesn’t fit. But that takes time.

        The road to hell is built on good intentions… I don’t think your intentions really matter if you partake in the same actions to get in on the inside.
