What is the meaning behind all cops are bastards, really?

• Are we utilizing an identical equivalent to racial stereotypes?
• Were the Capitol Police who defended against these insurrectionists bastards? For example, Eugene Goodman who routed the mob away?
• If anything, wouldn’t this almost invoke a self-fulfilling prophecy?
• Are all cops bastards, or are only certain police cultures bastards? For example I’ve seen comparative documentaries of cops in other countries from Norway to Canada and not all cops are of the same quality.

So as much as it feels that way sometimes, not all cops are bastards. But if you give cops shit wage and shit training and low pay you’re going to attract more scum, absolutely. To be a Registered Nurse, for instance, requires far more education, testing, continued education, etc. And they’re paid better. As a result, the median quality is much higher.
