Need I go on?
Thanks for painting all of us with the same brush.
Glenn,
I made it very clear that this particular couple seemed to be very nice and probably were, and that I had no factual basis for thinking the cop himself to be corrupt.
It is, however, strange that a San Antonio, Texas police officer (and this guy is no more than about 42 years old, not some super senior guy, and not a high-ranking officer, either) can afford 2 fairly new Mercedes.
Unfortunately for you, the old saying that “one rotten apple spoils the entire barrel” holds true. Police do not self-regulate enough, allowing the few truly bad actors to continue to enrich themselves and to otherwise abuse their power. What are we mere civilians supposed to think when there are such obvious abuses that are seemingly never addressed?
What do you call policemen who cover up crimes committed by their brothers in blue? Does aiding and abetting ring a bell?
Stay Safe... ;>)
so nobody on yer shift ever does things 'illegal' ???
how often have you reported it ???
for my part, when somebody does a crappy auto repair, i apologize and double my efforts to make it right for the consumer...what have YOU done to 'police' yer own ???
