There are indeed some pretty good cops out there, both individually and in some departments and agencys generally, particularly in some smaller rural areas where they've been subjected less to politicalization and liberal indoctrination. Those who have earned the respect of the citizens they protect deserve every bit they get- and some do.
And others, bullying and antagonistic, demand that they too be given respect, though they have in fact earned nothing but contempt. Their real position is that of the Jews in the death camps who cooperated as Kamp Polizei [*camp police*] or KaPos, betraying and clubbing their fellow Jews for a little extra bread from their nazi masters. That seems to also cover Jefferson County Sheriff John Stone's role in covering up the killings of at least one and possibly more of the Columbine victims by members of his own department, which could be damaging to his future political plans.
And in any event, we cannot expect all cops to perform as heroes, on every shift, at all times, onnduty and off. But we should at least expect them to be better than liars and cowards, who bklame their own mistakes on dead children.
