The way I’ve argued it is that not all people who work as police are bastards. Some may be good people outside of work. The moment they put on that badge and willfully become part of an oppressive system, they are bastards.

Yeah. It’s got holes-a-plenty, but it brings people into the conversation without throwing a totally blanket statement.

    Not speaking up or pushing against policies and such that target specific groups of people because that's the way we've always done it makes you a bastard still. We all know there's probably one or two good cops per department/precinct that truly wish and do help people when they can. But they're silenced for the sake of their job speaking out against the mistreatments and policies.

    Same here. You don’t really get flexibility, if the law says it’s illegal to be Jewish or whatever, as a LEO you have to enforce that law regardless of your personal belief. You become the armed grunt for that system. Same with those who join the military.
