Most police do good. You only hear about the bad ones because they get more views.

Everyone likes to say it’s just a ‘few bad apples’ but fail to realize the actual quote they are referring to: ‘one bad apple spoils the bunch’.

It's amazing how often quotes get bastardized. I think the most common is "Money is the root of all evil," instead of "The love of money is the root of all evil."

"Blood is thicker than Water." Family ties are more important than anything...

Except, it's "Blood of the Covenant is thicker than Water of the Womb" which is the exact opposite. Those bonds you goose to form are stronger because you chose them.

I forgot about that one. It's definitely more common than the money one.

It's also wrong

"Blood is thicker than water" came first by hundreds of years

That was the context in which it was brought up... Idk, at least to me, the implication of the word "bastardized" is that it got degraded and changed over time. Which is not true in this case. "Blood is thicker than water" was not bastardized from anything, it's always meant exactly what it still means
