If I join their ranks for a day to leak their brutality “we investigated ourselves and found we’ve done nothing wrong“ files I’m a bastard. No leaks from me then.
Implications of law of large numbers distracts from otherwise understandable arguments.

Hmm, sorry - I took my sheriff example to the extreme and assumed it would still fall under your bastard definition, which sounded like guilt by association.
Given how many cops there are out there, I know that at least one new hire was chill and reported colleagues the first time they saw bad behavior, then got fired for it. I don’t like to call whistleblowers “bastards“ even when urgently describing an important and systemic issue.
I’ve heard that before yet when we think about 700,000 different individuals aren’t we almost guaranteed to have one or more cops undergoing a disciplinary process right now (and at any and every moment)?
It’s so badass to stick up for what you believe in, what’s right, citizens’ rights, to the point of getting fired for it - & knowing you’re risking harassment, possibly for the rest of your life you live in that same jurisdiction. If the sheer scale suggests there must be at least one agitator in police ranks at any given time, I can’t in good conscience say “all”.
Stubborn…!
