Man... I grew up on fictional tales about morally grey complex villains with redeeming qualities that left me entirely unprepared for the reality of these irredeemably evil bastards running our society.

I can understand that completely. I grew up with very similar stories.

Like, in theory I know some good cops are out there, but in practice I've known 5 pretty well in my relatively short time, and they've all been abusers and most have been cheaters. Disheartening for sure, but the best thing we can do is keep them honest and demand justice.
