Cops are just another kind of gang. One that has the pretense of being a lawful institution. Once you are “in” the other cops will protect you from consequences and accountability. If you “cross the thin blue line”, you are then out and they will go out of their way to punish you and censor you for speaking out against the group.

And don’t even get me started on if someone kills a cop. It makes open gang warfare look like Sesame Street shit.
