No they aren't.
Yes they are.
No. They're people who signed up to enforce unjust laws in a system in which people are exploited. They are fundamentally bad.
They signed up to fight crime and protect people. And that's what they are doing. There are definitely bastards in the police, but this logic is insanely dumb. Are kids who dream about being cops and saving people bastards?
Some very naive people sign up under the mistaken idea that that is what they will be doing. Those naive people are quickly disabused of this notion, and they either quit, are fired, or join in on the corrupt bastardry. There is no such thing as a good cop. What they do is enforce unjust laws, regardless of what they thought they were going to do.
Keep in mind that if you've got 3 bastards in a police department and 17 "good guys" who don't stop those bastards, you have 20 bastards in that department.
