The &quot;it&#x27;s just a few bad apples&quot; excuse is especially egregious, as bad apples need to be disposed with rapidly before they rot the rest of the batch.<p>Farmers who encounter a bad apple don&#x27;t shrug and say &quot;eh, there&#x27;ll always be bad apples, nothing we can do&quot;. It&#x27;s really weird how what should be a saying supporting police reform got twisted into something promoting indifference to abuse.
