      If I join their ranks for a day to leak their brutality “we investigated ourselves and found we’ve done nothing wrong“ files I’m a bastard. No leaks from me then.

      Implications of law of large numbers distracts from otherwise understandable arguments.

          Hmm, sorry - I took my sheriff example to the extreme and assumed it would still fall under your bastard definition, which sounded like guilt by association.

          Given how many cops there are out there, I know that at least one new hire was chill and reported colleagues the first time they saw bad behavior, then got fired for it. I don’t like to call whistleblowers “bastards“ even when urgently describing an important and systemic issue.

            To me, that’s a perfect example of why all cops are bastards. That person is no longer a cop, so it doesn’t apply to them. But all the bastards didn’t like having their awful behavior called out and pushed out the non-bastard. Thus all cops are bastards.
