Loving the drive towards the PRINCIPLE of generalizing and abstraction:
When is it ok to generalize and when not ? And what's the reality vs. ideal of politics weighing on that ?
If you're a cop at some point you're going to see wrongdoing of fellow cops abusing their power. I would imagine it's pretty routine. If you're a cop you're going to look the other way or face harassment and be ostracized, there's many examples of this. Look at all the cops standing around George Floyd as he laid lifeless.
If you put your job security ahead of your oath well guess what you're a bad cop because you're not honoring your oath. Show me a cop that honors their oath, it doesn't exist.
