Once again, the old adage applies. One bad apple will spoil the bunch.
Based on my experience and observation, perhaps 15% of cops are trash. And because little is done about them, the whole profession becomes suspect.
We see that here on Free Republic. A conservative site such as this should be solidly pro-police. But it’s not. And that’s not because FReepers are stupid. It’s because the cops are not policing themselves.
I’ve had a few cops piss on me for no reason over the years. And yes, I do hold a grudge.
I am pro law, I’m not sure that would make me pro police. Just do your job properly and stay away from me.
More like 80%. All you have to do is watch what the cops did at the Trump rallies in 2016 When Trump supporters were being beaten, cops stood by and watched. Then you have J6.
Your own numbers are the condemnation you rue.
*IF* only 15% of cops are bad, why don’t the 85% of “GOOD” cops stop them?
Your numbers are unfortunately very wrong, and if anything, reversed, demonstrating we are in a corrupt situation.
I was pro police. And their actions changed my opinion.
