I think someone said around here that if one nurse is poisoning patients and the other nurses know but say nothing, is one nurse bad or are all the nurses bad?

That isn’t simple to answer though. If those other nurses could prevent it without hassle, then yeah they’re bad people by association.

If they’re being threatened with credible threats of violence should they speak up, then they’re not bad people for staying quiet.

I remember multiple threads here on Reddit where people asked (genuinely) where the “good cops” in the US are and what they’re doing to counteract bad cops. The general answer? They can’t do anything without reprecussions, like being fired, mistreated, or even being subjected to harassment and violence by their bad cop peers.

Many such people who wanted to be officers in order to make a positive change were quickly hit with the harsh reality that they couldn’t actually make a change, because the bad apples are too high in the hierarchy to take down alone, and would be heavily punished for attempting to do so. Many ended up quiting after that realization.
