    “you can’t let a few bad apples spoil the bunch”

    But that is literally what bad apples do. They let off enzymes that quicken the ripening process of other apples. If you put a ripe apple in a bag of unripe apples, they all get ripe and rot. Why do they always get this wrong!? Cause the same goes for the cops. Even if someone joins with "good intentions" and want to be nice to people on the job, if they go against the other rotten apples, they get kicked out or sometimes killed. So they have to rot too.

      I pointed this out to him and he said something to the effect of "By that logic, genocide is okay"

      The phrase works if your solution is to actually prosecute and remove the "bad apples" but the issue is that the apple orchard owner likes spoiling the bunch and is intentionally putting bad apples in positions of power repeatedly
