My favourite part is when conservatives defend them by saying that it's just "a few bad apples." Fuckers, the full saying is "one bad apple SPOILS the bunch"!

Whenever I buy fruit in bulk the first thing I do is remove them from the box and separate them all out. As long as cops see themselves as a brotherhood they've not been separated out.

The world is filled with good people who will bravely stand on the sidelines and do nothing.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

"Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."

More excusable when it's not explicitly their job to do something.

Or measure ‘good’ as a relative definition. While they will personally not do the agreed definition of a bad thing as they watch on as the bad thing happens but stand beside it and say “see? I’m not as bad as them.”

If someone throws a grenade at you, but the grenade doesn't go off. Is it a good grenade?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

No, but it would still have been the best grenade anyone threw at me.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

No, a good greande is supposed to kill indiscriminately, unlike cops.

Toxic relationships be like..

The other issue is they are standing there and not stopping the bad cop....

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's the whole point of this post....

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but also those guys are just standing there not doing anything...

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They might simply be too confused by the whole point of this post.
