Most of the ones I've met really are just trying to do the right thing.

There was a time when I might have believed that. But how many of those "good cops" who just want to do the "right thing" are coming out against these two imbeciles now?

How many ever come out against their fellow cops who colossally stupid things, like shooting unarmed, non-threatening, restrained civilians in the back?

I’m sorry but silence = complicity.

Yeah, that BART story was the last “presumption of innocence” straw for me, too.

That's the real key, isn't it. I suppose that most cops are honorable, decent people just trying to do an honest days work in support of their community. However, most all of them seem eager to be accomplices after the fact when one of their blue brothers does something with depraved indifference or so obviously criminal or unconstitutional.
