An unarmed Black man was attacked by a police officer’s K-9 as he surrendered to authorities with his hands up, despite an Ohio State Trooper repeatedly urging officers not to release the dog.

What people forget about the phrase including the term ‘bad apple’ is that it’s ‘one bad apple spoils the bunch.’ Even if it was “one bad apple,” the rest of them are complicit. Of course, it isn’t, but the “good” ones who don’t do the profiling or anything else racist personally are still complicit. ACAB.
Yeah, it’s definitely an “actions speak louder than words” kind of dealio. I’d accept the one bad apple response if their actions showed that their approach was “let’s get rid of this apple asap to prevent contamination and also immediately investigate the apples in the bad one’s immediate vicinity for signs of spoilage”.
