But individuals who choose to enforce a corrupt system or enforce unjust penalties for unjust laws are morally culpable for that choice.

An SS or Gestapo in Nazi germany  had the exact same excuse for hunting down Jews as an American police officer has for locking up cannabis users - none at all.

Serving a corrupt system willingly is itself morally inexcusable.

A cop who takes a father away from his children and throws him in a cage for self medicating with a dried herb has done something truly evil, and following orders is no excuse for evil.

Of course not. Murderers and rapists are human as well and so are their victims.

Cannabis users rotting in jail away from their loved ones are human and so are the police who throw them in prison before going home to their own families to enjoy a cold beer they bought with the paycheck they "earned" by arresting cancer patients and teenagers who use cannabis.

Love the sinner, hate the sin as they say.

But let's not pretend it's hard to understand why some people hate police or that it's unreasonable for them to do so.

If your sick grandfather was thrown in jail for growing a pot plant or if you couldn't get a job to feed your kids because you smoked cannabis to treat your nausea, you would likely hate police too.

A cop's job isn't to follow breadcrumbs.  No.
A cop's job is to arrest and levy fines against people who are, by definition, innocent until proven guilty.  Then a judge, later, decides whether that freedom should be given back or not.  The cop is a glorified delivery driver.
So a cop's job is to remove the freedom of innocent people, or use the threat of it, as they see fit.  That is literally the opposite of the American ideals of freedom and autonomy.  I hate cops because they are anti-freedom.  What kind of person decides they want to go oppress people for a living?  I mean, the underlying psychology, the cognitive dissonance, is dumbfounding.  It's for these reasons that all cops are equally repulsive shit stains; there are no "bad apples" when they're all the same monster.

An asshole.

Most cops probably join to protect people from violence and keep the peace.

Yeah, it's easy to say all cops are the same if you barely talk to any. I've got 2 in my family and neither are the kind of guys to become a cop to "oppress people." They both don't like arresting people for drugs, they joined to actually help their communities, to get thieves and murderers off the street. Unfortunately, if they don't arrest people for drugs also then they would get fired and have that opportunity to help their communities taken away.

You never hear about police stopping crime or locking up murderers in the news. The average millennial thinks that cops do nothing more than arrest people for weed and kill black people. They're so uneducated. And I'm part of their generation :feelssadman:
