I really don’t get how some people can oppose any effort to hold police accountable. You’d think they’d want the police to be held to the highest standards, considering their responsibilities. And yet, not only do they ascribe any obvious misdeeds by police to “a few bad apples”, they even make excuses for those bad apples (by blaming the victims) and criticize efforts to bring them to justice.
