Haha, very true! Sure would be nice if they had any accountability and did anything to stop their “rotten apples” from ruining the whole bunch.
But even if they weren’t entirely corrupt, it seems like most people fail to realize that preventing harm is plain and simply not their role in society. It’s up to legislatures to determine what’s criminal, then up to cops to bring in those who break those criminal laws.
I like to imagine cops as low-IQ NPCs that just go around with overly inflated egos, dressed in power-inducing military cosplay outfits, holding the legal knowledge of a toddler, with a lasso and a notepad. They tie up anyone who might be criminal and write down what they think they did wrong, without really using any rational thought and no one looking over their actions. Rinse and repeat.
