All cops are bastards but some bastards aren’t cops.
I may have been born out of wedlock, but I’d never become a cop.

Kim: No Lieutenant, I’m actually a bastard too. You are as well. Technically, we all are.
Logic: He has a point. ‘All’ makes no exceptions.
Rhetoric: It’s a professional hazard. But that doesn’t preclude the existence of a ‘good’ bastard. You can be it. A communist bastard cop. A bastard for the people.
Not all cops
No there isn’t
Just a tiny one, occupied by a single person

and that dot very quickly becomes not blue because they are fired.

“‘F the Police’ but who’s stopping you from killing me?” ―Harder Than You Think - Public Enemy
I do believe about 20% of police officers have good intentions and significantly more signed up with that attitude, not knowing that they protect the wealthy elite and crooked politicians more than they uphold democratic values and ethical standards in society.
Unfortunately, probably more of them consider such a career because of the authority it gives them. Therefore I prefer to say that “many cops are bastards”; granted, it doesn’t have an equally nice ring to it.
But pretty much none of those cops are protecting me from being murdered. They will investigate who murdered me and fuel the prison-industrial complex. Unless solving my murder is hard. Then all the docs pertaining to my murder case will be put in long-term storage. If cops’ one job was the protection of others/life at all costs, I’d think they were cool.
Many Nazis also signed up with good intentions to the Werhmacht
Intentions vs actions.
All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption.
Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they’re told.
I subscribe to the philosophy of Roy.
People. What a bunch of bastards
Great. Now I need to binge that show again. Not that I don’t want to. But still.
