There are 796,000 police officers in the US in 17,000 police departments. 85% are men and 77% are white, average age 39, average yearly salary of $69, 036. You could think of cops as a militarized white men’s club with all the makings of patriarchy, weaponized white privilege and a culture of loyal brotherhood. The police are also occupiers of oppressed communities, enforcers of systematic inequality. In some communities during a medical emergency cops may be your best bet getting to the hospital. Or you could just consider them all bastards.
