America is an outlier at the high end. Doesn't change the fact we must assume all cops are bastards. There may be a few good apples who ruin the barrel, but one bad one can absolutely ruin your life on a whim with no comeback on them, so we assume they're bastards to protect ourselves

Not everyone has the lack of accountability America has. Being a cop doesn’t make you a bastard.
