Bad apple cops?
Stop being stupid, and stop playing us—the people whose taxes pay for law enforcement jobs—for stupid. If you want to claim that a few bad apples are making all the good “peace officers” look bad, then you need to eliminate the bad apples! Sticking the scapegoats back on the street (either right away or after paid leave) implies management approves of their actions, which actually means the whole organization is bad!
“What is that sound?” “Oh, that’s just the tumbrils.”
