Why haven't you or your son's former finace's cousin turned in these dirty cops? I mean no disrespect to you but if all of this illegal activity is going on, shouldn't someone come forward and say it?

My husbands been a cop for fourteen years now and when he has seen cops getting arrested for illegal activities, his attitude changes and he feels these cops should get whatever is coming to them. I keep hearing about people wanting the police to be policed and it's already going on. We hear about all of these bad cops on the news who have been involved in some pretty bad stuff and now they are paying for there crimes.....isn't that policing the police?

Don't worry about the length....I too tend to go on and on because so much needs to be said. :-}

That was going on 5 or 6 years ago and I assume at least some of it still goes on today - except that we do have a new sherriff. Unfortunately the same cops are still on the force.

Problem is, all we have is rumors, or "he said, she said" that wouldn't hold up in our local courts, and I don't have a clue how to ferret out the truth. No way I'm going to stalk any cop 24/7. I'm a 53-year-old grandmother who is looking forward to another 30 or so years, God willing.

Sounds like your husband is one of the many good cops who take the words "Protect and Serve" to heart. God bless him.

I can maybe give you one reason, Police Depts dont care about the concerns of everyday citizens, who they view as little more than traffic revenue.

Complaints to local police depts. no matter how valid or important are often ignored or make a quick trip to the disposal bin. Dirty cops are allowed to keep pulling the same stunts for years at a time. A case in point was a local officer we had in our community. He was widely known to harrass citizens of our town and engage in behavior not becoming a police officer. Including spending an inordinate amount of time with nurses aides at the local retirement home with the key to the medicine cabinet. This was actually reported by numerous people to the local sherriff's office. Their response? No action.

It wasnt until a year later he was caught red handed pilfering drugs out of the towns evidence locker that he was finally fired.

The concerns of ordinary citizens often fall on the deaf ears of arrogant beurocrats who dont care about the people who pay their salaries. It is unfortunate, but it is also the truth.
