According to various accounts I've seen posted on social media (which does not necessarily make them true, but they certainly seem to be plausible): when good cops try to hold bad cops accountable, they're fired or otherwise forced out.

I don't believe this to be the case in EVERY police force - I very much suspect that there's some small town somewhere that has like 300 people and maybe 5 cops total who wanted to be cops so they could be helpful and protective for their families and neighbors, and the entire police force there is good. But when you get into large police forces in large/historical cities with a "traditional culture" among the police that dates back to the days when they were out there to catch runaway slaves and the like... I doubt good cops survive in those places for long before they're no longer cops.

And that is why all cops are bastards, because the non bastards very quickly stop being cops.

Idk. You could say this about every group of people that disproportionately does bad shit. But you don't. So it's a bit hypocritical to only do this about cops.

People do say this about practically every group of people who disproportionately does bad shit, so there’s no hypocrisy. And cops are still worse than the majority of those groups regardless, because they’re one of the few groups that gets payed to kill people and get called a hero. Besides soldiers.

Well, there was that one lady who lost her pension because she was a good cop:

Thankfully, she was able to get it back.

This. And even if they are lucky enough to get an investigation going, more often than not they'll see the bad cops getting slaps on the wrist. Or they'll know that's what would likely happen if they tried to investigate them and hold them accountable. So after a while it'd be so easy to start to wonder, "Why bother?" as a result.

I also have no problem believing good cops who do try and sound the alarm have gotten threats on their lives or those of their loved ones as well, and may have even had encounters with people who tried to act on those threats to boot.
