Uh, no? Being a cop means you work in law enforcement, where you arrest people for committing crimes. there are normal, sane people who are cops, some of which may be gay. The entire police department isn't evil just because some evil members exist and did awful things.
yes, they work in law enforcement. they enforce, and thus stand with and represent the law -- not an idealised version of the law, but one that is regularly broken and bent to harm us. and they do so willfully.
being an officer of the law does not run congruent with upholding morality
I used to agree with you, but the fact is cops are fundamentally trained to be the "bad apples" that you're talking about.
It's not just some evil members, they are literally trained to be that bad. Your own moral compass can't really overcome that kind of training and conditioning.
It’s not “some evil members” it’s a systemic issue. If they truly only arrested people for committing crimes they wouldn’t have the reputation that they do.
Police target minorities a statistically significant amount of the time. They are the oppressors.
