Your point of view is that the cops can do no wrong, no matter what the situation.

No the reason, I ususally take the cops side on FR is because of the hysterical and hyperbolic animus by people on your side towards the cops.

Thay are always wrong, no matter what.

There is only so much you can get from a press account and 95% of the time that press is going to be against the cop.

These people do a dangerous job and bad things are going to happen, and I take offense at your almost evangelical ranting that the cops are automatically bad people, they are 99% of the time good people, but that doesn't matter to you IMHO, you will use any tragic situation to smear good people in the LEO profession.

More Like 65% good, 35% bad generally, 50-50 for drug cops.

The press is just as gung-ho for the WOsD as you are. It makes for great copy. I just don't buy your opinion on this.

99% of cops are "good cops?"

Read "Serpico." Written by a cop, about cops. Read "The Choirboys," written by Joseph Wambaugh (a cop) about cops. Non-fiction, real live cops.

It seems that there are these fantasies you spout about "your idea" of cops, and then there are the things we can learn about the reality of cops from the few cops who have the integrity to actually tell the truth.

I certainly don't believe they are always wrong.

But when they are sometimes wrong, they should be held to a higher standard than your everyday Joe.

Not have it swept under the rug.
