Cops always defend their bad apples, thus the whole bunch is spoiled.
For context, I’m Canadian and am regularly downright proud of our courts. Our cops on the other hand, no. Just no. Routinely in the papers for egregious criminal activity and abuse of people rights.
In the US, the courts and the cops have long been a shambolic shitshow of gangsterism. Your mileage may vary based on your country.
Less than agreeable or upright and actually involved in organised crime are two very different things.
Protecting capital over the rule of law and human rights, or protecting those who do is literally being involved in organized crime.
Actually, being a cop is legal.

So? That’s still not what organised crime means.
I’ll use the US as its a much clearer example. For profit prisons with kickback schemes from judges.. Illegal arrests and fines to generate dollars for podunk towns, Abusing RICO statutes for civil forfeiture to straight up rob people extra judicially. It’s straight up racketeering.. Almost everything the LAPD, NYPD, Baltimore PD Ever did. They are notorious.
That looks a whole lot like like practices you don’t like, but which are legal.
I think you, like they, are abusing the term legal.
Yeah, but this entire thread is about a cop being involved with literal organised crime, not figurative or metaphorical organised crime.
In another context, maybe we’d be talking about moral and not legal, but what you go to jail for is the distinction here.
