I get that, and I admit it's possible. It's just that I've spent a lot of time around military and police, and most of them are pretty wrapped up in the idea of being the good guy. Sure, they will lie, cheat, and plant evidence to protect each other, and even to frame people, but they do it because they think it is the right thing to do. Their sense of right and wrong is a little off, but if they had to watch a video of a child being tortured to death I don't think there's any way to think it's good to let the perpetrators continue to have freedom and access to children. It totally messes with the "good guy" ideal if you try to say, "I'm a good guy, but sometimes I let people murder children because I have a nice job I don't want to lose."

Again, It's possible. I just can't see the cops I've known over the years acting that way, and most of them I would say are assholes, and possibly criminal. In fact, because of all the cops I've known over the years I'm pretty convinced that the best way to deal with cops is to avoid them at all costs. I believe most of what they do is basically robbery and slavery, and to boot most of them do it smugly.

However, we share something, you and I. It's why I'm subscribed to your channel: It's that thing inside you that says, "not on my watch, asshole." There's something inside some men that drives them to be a protector of the innocent. I can't think of anyone I've met in the military or police that didn't see themselves that way. Asshole and corrupt or not.

I do admit there's a chance I'm overestimating the NYPD though... You got a point about their corruption.
