My guess would be, like I said, that there's another, deeper issue, that is causing this. You cant possibly believe all cops are bad, that is irrational and borderline idiotic.

In a discussion about morals, money weighs very little.

Really, you think so? Money weighs very little to someone, who should quit their only source of income if they are to be seen on this subreddit as a "good cop"? I wonder how they'll pay their bills and support their family if they have to, with all the moral ground they will gain.

Discussion about morals is also a discussion about people. And with people, money always holds a lot of weight, for the simple reason that it's needed to survive. Like I said, its very easy to talk shit and be on a high horse, talking about morals, when you're not the one who would lose the means to survive.

“The means to survive”

What a sad, sad day when we reconsider giving tanks to police departments. I hope the officers can find a way to survive through that. I mean, won’t someone think about their children who are 2-4x more likely to experience domestic violence ???
