“SOME cops are pigs. “
And the rest, 100% of the rest, enable them by covering for them.
Yep, and that includes their commanders, administrators, bureaucrats and the local tin-pot pols who are terrified of the cops and their unions.
Were the rest of all police officers in the nation there? I must have missed that part.
Speaking from personal experience, which you apparently lack, I worked for a mid-size department that:
- arrested and fired THE POLICE CHIEF for DWI.
- routinely investigated and prosecuted the few officers who engaged in illegal or unethical behavior.
- suspended a Lt. for mistreating a suspect in custody in the booking area (fellow officers helped implicate him.)
- indefinitely suspended an officer for falsifying an off-duty roster change.
FYI, a large part of most departments’ budgets at allocated to the Internal Affairs function of policing officer conduct both on and off duty. Doesn’t sound much like “covering for each other” to me.
