See, that's actually bullshit since standards have always been pretty good and have only gotten even tougher as the years go by. Out of all the thousands upon thousands of arrests going on everyday, the few anecdotes in comparison to that of police misbehavior are extremely small.
Go walk into Metro Atlanta’s police department and announce a drug-test today for all members. See how quick some get sick and walk out.
Go look at lawsuits now hitting small towns throughout the US and ask them how their legal insurance costs are going. Go ask about the deductible for your town and how it’s affecting the necessity to raise taxes to cover cost....all due to incompetent cops and illegal arrests.
The standards are high but they are targeting the swat team wannabees.
Law enforcement has clearly set itself as above the law in this country.
