Obviously you have not been through the legal system when innocent.
The system is DERESPONSIBILIZING ITSELF AS A RULE OF ANY WRONGDOING.
It's a form of institutional of hate of the other and racism. The system is what you have to worship.
Sure, there are good cops out there, but they sure have to hide it, because if they show they are for JUSTICE and not for LAWYERS OR THE SYSTEM, they get canned real quick.
Whistle blower cop in my area is getting canned and prosecuted for "lying"

Actually, on a small scale, I have. Further, I've applied to agencies, been put through polygraph tests (black magic and voodoo), and been told that I've lied about my criminal background. They knew damned well my record is clean (other than speeding...).

Not all good cops have to hide it. Good agencies are good from the top down. Bad agencies are bad from the top down. Whatever direction the Chief/Sheriff leads, the department follows. I happened to live in a county where the Sheriff (Scott Lancaster) was a criminal (even though he returned the money). They have a guy now who is killing morale even worse.
Other counties have good folks leading them and morale (and police behavior) is good.
I worked in a county in Florida where a mayor perjured himself unquestionably--he 180d ON THE STAND when caught.
Cops wouldn't touch it. State's Atty wouldn't touch it. The system is all about CYA for these people. Don't bother me, I won't bother you, as long as you're in power, too.
