It's not just the officers but the departments themselves including prosecutors.Anytime an industry has the authority to hold you at the point of a gun and take your money,mainly just to propagate their own existence in MHO is corrupt.

That's silly.

Prosecutors aren't connected to the departments. Usually, they are elected officials you vote for. They then hire their staffs of attorneys.

Sheriff's you vote for.

State and Feds you don't, but they actually spend much of their time on oversight for everyone else.

There are plenty of problems with corruption. There are Freepers here whose sole purpose is to post police corruption stories they hate cops so bad. But what is missing is the corruption comes to light by other cops catching the bad ones and prosecutors prosecuting them.

The main point, though, is that condemning ‘the majority’ of 800,000 people who we pay to protect us is the EXACT same mentality CODE PINK uses to condemn our military when a soldier commits a crime and is caught.
