in everyday work, cops police themselves. and that is the way it should be.

No, that's the way you wish it could be. Get ready for the world of your every move being recorded.

i'm not going down for something someone else did. but i'm also not going to go out of my way to turn in some cop for baloney. we have another saying:
nobody likes a rat.

As I said earlier, your primary duty is to protect and defend our Constitution and our citizens. -- If you think 'ratting out' bad cops conflicts with that duty; -- catch 22, that's a bad attitude for a cop.

Can you understand that reasoning?

i'm tired of you taking every sentence and putting the most negative spin possible on it. i'm telling you what it's actually like.

i've given a lot of ground on this thread and told people they have valid points even if they differ from my viewpoint which, quite frankly, is in tune with the current state of policing. it may not be perfect, but would you rather have me lie? as of now, i'm done with this great thread.

if it's so horrible out there, why are these stories the exception rather than the rule? oh wait, you'll probably tell me that if everyone had video, we'd see these scenarios ARE the rule. save it. i know firsthand you'd be wrong.
