while agree, they can only do that with so many cops at a time... What if, in a larger city, the entire graduating class of police academy is extremely morally motivated, and grew up inspired to be a by-the-book, actually good cop? They couldn't fuck all of them up.
also, Serpico was a really good movie...
....
all i'm saying is: it could be doing more good as inspiration, than bad as copaganda... i dunno... could be... maybe...

I mean, technically true in a "picture a spherical frictionless cow" kind of sense, but not something you're going to find in real life. Most people are susceptible to corruption. Cops have a lot of power, and we all know the saying about power corrupting.

On top of that, I'm pretty sure much of the training they're getting to be cops is bad. They don't spend nearly enough time on deescalation, I think , for example.
