I only know like 2 dozen cops. One’s an absolute blowhard, but the rest are decent people. I don’t expect them all to be nice, because I’ve seen reports on TV otherwise; it’d be foolish.
The cherry-picking starts with US newsmedia. I’m glad our cops are different, at least.
… but it’s just a few bad apples. Most cops are very fine people.

I’m sorry, kinda hilarious that you had to add a sarcasm tag. And sad.
I was hopeful the two separate clues - “just a few bad apples” plus “very fine people on both sides” would be a banger. Maybe it was just too good.
It’s kind of ironic that you had to add the /s since most people never think to finish the adage.
Like “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, its full meaning has been cut off in order to support the opposite point.
But you’re not wrong. It’s a sampling bias.
