Re: Bad Cop, Bad Cop, Whatcha gonna do?
It makes sense that in a culture where human equality is treated with contempt, cops become contemptuous of citizens. There's nothing specially good or bad about cops -- they're just folks like us trying to get by. Of any ten, one is a creep, one is a saint, and the other eight are flawed but basically decent. The systemic problem here is the Haves using the police as attack dogs to keep the Have Nots in fear. That's what you get when community and social responsibility break down and life becomes a war of all against all.
Or because they've been pacified by all the cop dramas we've seen in the last few decades that they believe once the magic badge goes on, they can do absolutely anything they want.
