Police officer

A person who serves to keep the peace, protect others and combat crime. Recently, due to the death of George Floyd by the hands of Derek Chauvin, many have started spouting the "ACAB" thing which means "All cops are bastards". This is, of course, false - the vast majority of police officers are genuinely good people who work a thankless job, put themselves in danger to fight crime and protect us. Saying every cop is bad for the actions of a rotten, vile and corrupt few is like saying all blacks are bad because a very small percentage of them commit crime and do drugs or all Asians are bad because a very small amount of them eat dogs and are shit at driving. It's important to remember that, while there are a vile, terrible few for sure, almost every police officer is a genuinely good person doing their best to keep me, you, and everyone else safe from crime. The actions of the few do not define the many, and for the sake of genuine, productive discussion and argument it's vital to not succumb to the delusional groupthink of "all cops are bad, abolish the police" that seems to be common nowadays.
