Sure, but now you are acting like it is impossible to have innocent cops.

Maybe the US has a complete fucked up police system, but that isn't the only place on Earth.

Your perspective is normal and common and you might therefore not question it, but if you want to understand where these people are coming from look into prison abolition, police abolition, and anarchism.

The idea is that policing itself is not "innocent" or necessary. When you think that way (agree with it or not) the position you're putting forward sounds to them like "there were good Nazis too not all Nazis are bad" sounds to you

And that's the wrong way to go about it.
