Smug, much? The vast majority of LEO do their job every day with little thanks and at great risk, and yet you seem to think most of them are out to harm people or pets.

Would you care to name any occupation where 100% are honest, competent, or in any other way perfect? No dishonest or criminal doctors, lawyers, plumbers, bus drivers, etc? Nobody hates criminal cops more than other cops, because almost all cops are good people.

Sadly no. But most professions weed out their bad actors, they get memberships revoked, licenses pulled and their professional colleagues will testify against them.

Police never do wrong in the eyes of their own Internal Affairs investigators, and I can't recall a single officer testifying against another no matter how egregious the crime under color of authority.

Are you OK with that?

Nobody hates criminal cops more than other cops, because almost all cops are good people.

Is that why they will perjure themselves under oath protect them from even the slightest hint of scandal?

It is really sad when a good and decent cop who would never even consider doing the evil a few of their colleagues do will unhesitatingly defend them.

F*:’( that! Where are all the upstanding officers who are outraged and calling for their heads?!

Crickets....chirp chirp.

Both cops should get the death penalty. Sanctimonious idiot.

There are many more rapes reported by victims of cops than the victims of plumbers or mail men. Every state should add a little paragraph to their requirements forbidding the rape of a person in custody, male or female. That’s not hard to do.

Firefighters ;^)

You're welcome.

Is your boyfriend a cop?

“Nobody hates criminal cops more than other cops, because almost all cops are good people.”

The fact that cops usually close ranks to protect the bad ones makes me very skeptical of that assertion.

Nobody hates criminal cops more than other cops, because almost all cops are good people.

If this is true, why do those of the "Thin Blue Line" close ranks and defend their fellow officers EVERY time one is accused of lawless activity?

If the police were more open and honest about the "bad apples" in their barrel, and actively sought them out and removed them, your statement would be true.

Then there is the whole "Us versus Them" attitude of nearly every officer out there.

Don't misunderstand, I have several friends who are active and retired police officers, and they admit to what I posited above. Drop the whole "we v they" thing, clean up the dirty cops as best you can, and we can start afresh.

@@@Nobody hates criminal cops more than other cops, because almost all cops are good people.@@@

And, yet they do nothing about them. Where is the honor in that?

[WatchungEagle]

The truth is most LEO’s today are primarily revenue collection agents for the state. They don’t deserve any special respect over what toll booth operators get.
