The whole Good Cop / Bad Cop question can be disposed of much more decisively. We need not enumerate what proportion of cops appears to be good or listen to someone's anecdote about his uncle Charlie, an allegedly good cop.
We need only consider the following:
A cop's job is to enforce the laws, all of them;
Many of the laws are manifestly unjust, and some are even cruel and wicked;
Therefore every cop has to agree to act as an enforcer for laws that are manifestly unjust or even cruel and wicked.
And you know, a ton of attorneys are now questioning and filing lawsuits against Governors because these extended shutdowns may not even be legal. I believe it was Illinois where an attorney won his case, because the Governor is not allowed to extend a shutdown past 30 days or something.
Line up attorneys! There is tons of money to make in class action lawsuits right now.

There are no good cops. - Robert Higgs
And these are not even laws. They were there because the executive of the state told them too. It is fucking bullshit.

That includes the Constitution.
Seems like these days "this concludes the constitution"
