    Perfect is the enemy of good. Maybe these “bad apple” cops I keep hearing about will commit less hate crimes against their community after sentences like these.

        They’re all bad because no one ever plucks out the bad ones before they spoil the rest. This bad apple has been plucked out. Just left on the counter and will probably be back in three years but at least it was removed before it spoiled more

        Why is the full understanding of that saying not used when completing it fully? You remove bad apples from the bunch so that the rot doesn’t spread. They all become bad if you don’t do that. Not saying that’s the case for cops in any of these digestions, one way or another. But just saying, sayings.

          Right wing people are either stupid or dishonest. The stupid ones don’t understand the saying and never thought to look it up, and the dishonest ones don’t care.

          Because once the rot has discovered it’s already spread. You need to throw the whole thing out or else everything else will get tainted as well.
