I saw an interesting perspective on the officer who killed Georgy Floyd. It was that he's also going to have his life taken by the system. The system allowed him to accrue 18 complaints against him and let him get away with all those instances set him up for the instance that would allow him to be in the position he was, doing what he did.

Good cops that "protected" him, weren't protecting him, they were slowly letting him become more criminal, less decent. If there's justice, he will also have his life taken by the system that encouraged him to behave that way without repercussions.

Whatever good police are out there need to recognize that the system is pushing them in the same direction. The slow erosion of their sense of the sanctity of every life and their duty to serve and protect everyone, even criminals, gets lost.

They should be demanding the right to sanction those acts which offend them, and rather than losing the respect of their fellow officers, gaining it.
