There’s a two word description for the entire problem: union labor.
A good cop can’t blow the whistle on a bad cop because both cops are under the thumb of the union, which is filled with all the other cops who hold their brotherhood in the union at a higher level than their sworn duty and personal honor.
Not two minutes elapsed from the final capture of the Boston Marathon bomber, before one officer was on the radio wondering aloud to his fellows whether the night’s actions would be enough to knock down more money from City Hall.
Just two examples and, thousands more crawl out of departments around the country every year.
Union first; job...some ways down the line.
I don't know about that. I was reading an article written by an emergency room nurse. She told of how many doctors routinely covered up serious mistakes made other doctors. These bad doctors operated while drunk, high, half-asleep, etc. The good doctors rarely reported the bad doctors.
Doctors are not unionized. I think the problem is elsewhere.
