Too many years ago, this light bulb came on in a eureka moment for me: If someone's a bully, gets great joy from cruelty, meanness, keeping people afraid, and causing pain for anyone insufficiently afraid and 'respectful', there's no career more appealing and secure than becoming a cop. That's what most cops are.
And any hypothetical 'good cop' who isn't like that certainly knows the names of all their co-workers who are, but says nothing, is a collaborator, certainly not a 'good cop' in any fair assessment.
