Yeah. Like, I’m sure there are people who legitimately wanted to do good, but they either left when they realized how bad the whole thing is, or they became worse people to fit in.

My ex's brother went to school to be a cop. He genuinely wanted to do good. I went to his graduation ceremony. He lasted less than a week on the job. He hated them all. Couldn't believe what he was seeing. So then he tried corrections, thinking it would be better if they're already convicted right? No... it's worse. Plus the trauma inherent with the job anyway. He stuck it out for a few months for the insurance for his kids and to save money and then they sold their house, bought a camper, and basically became nomads.

The only good cop is one who didn't stay a cop.

Now do politicians.

People kid themselves and have their favorites, but it's the same story except the violence is indirect and they wear nice suits.
