Cops Should be Presumed Corrupt Assholes Until Proven Otherwise

Oh boy I'm going to get flak for this take and I know it. I assume cops are on the take, power hungry, racist, and just general bastards until I see them do their jobs. This isn't because I think all cops are evil or that very few would pass the test, for example I know that my towns cops pass...
