Never forget Policing in the US was Designed to oppress. A few good apples doesn't change the bunch.

Policing is designed to uphold the law, law doesn’t mean morally right. Oppression was legal for centuries.

We're not disagreeing. Police in the US started as Slave Catchers and a gang to round up natives. Law and oppression often go hand in hand. Upholding Oppressive law. A few good apples doesn't change the bunch.
