A Few Bad Apples?

[King Phenomenon]

American police have been getting a lot of negative publicity lately, Minorities distrust them, while the Right insists most are good and conscientious, with only a few outliers.
So, in today's news: Court Vindicates Black Officer Fired for Stopping Colleague’s Chokehold

A good and conscientious cop penalized for being good and conscientious; for stopping a bad cop brutalizing a handcuffed man.

Now, if a cop fails to stop another cop's misbehavior, or looks the other way, or fails to report it, doesn't that make him a bad cop? And when the whole department's complicit, doesn't that make the whole police force bad cops? Are there, in fact, only a few good apples?

Discuss.

Good outweighs bad
In everything
Always have always will

We are long past the "bad apples" example. Today we have a rotten orchard.
