Tamborine (Rock)

 

Here's the thing, man. Whenever the cops gun down an innocent black man, they always say the same thing: 'Well, it's not most cops. It's just a few bad apples. It's just a few bad apples.' ... Here's the thing. I know being a cop is hard. I know that shit's dangerous. I know it is, okay? But some jobs can't have bad apples. Some jobs, everybody gotta be good. Like...pilots. Ya know, American Airlines can't be like, 'Most of our pilots like to land. We just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains. Please bear with us.'
-- Chris Rock. Netflix special Tamborine (2018).
