My mom insists there are still good cops out there, despite the ones in our family being complete pieces of shit who do the worst things possible to other family members whenever there’s a problem. Stealing money, taking a vacation in another state when their kid needs help moving that same week, not giving any gifts for weddings, spouting off racist bullshit when behind closed doors, elderly abuse, alcoholism, cheating on their spouses…you name it.

Like if this is how they treat us, imagine what they do to strangers. Now imagine how their coworkers let them get away with it. This isn’t hard to figure out and I realized it was truly all cops when I became acquainted with more outside our family in my early 20s.
