A Few Bad Apples...
... Spoil the bunch. - Why do police and police enthusiasts use the first half of this idiom to describe officers who act unethically/immorally/illegally, get caught, and then are protected by the police? Does it not occur to them that *they* are the "bunch"?

Unknown parent • •@plan-A " but not all " - This is the basis of the irony. If the "not all" ones accept and protect the behaviour of the corrupt ones, then *they* are the corrupt ones, too.
"*I* didn't shoot a peaceful, unarmed woman point-blank with a rubber bullet just because she wanted to go into her home" is only an acceptable defense if it's followed by, "but I recommended the officer who did for punitive action", or, "and I tried to stop the officer who did". Any other answer means our 'good' officer is as guilty as the trigger-happy officer...

Unknown parent • •@plan-A "if he so anonymous then why does he have a profile on tiktok??" - "Anonymous" isn't a description, it is the name of an organization that acts publicly, but hides the identity of its members to protect them from illegal reprisals from governments or corporations.
"rest does not hurt me" - I'm not sure what this means... Are you trying to say that since you personally are not being shot by a cop for trying to peacefully enter your own home, then it's OK for them to do to others?
