Cops are currently bastards. They don’t always have to be. They can work to regain our trust, but it is never freely given. Being a public servant means to serve the public. When they are doing that, and not serving themselves, then they can earn some grace. It will take a very long tome to rebuild trust in the police departments, but if they make the effort to be better, they can rise above their low station and one day not be bastards anymore.
Cops not bastards for this one specific activity? Or are they just lesser bastards? The bastards of my bastards are different bastards?
