Sometimes, the only difference between the criminals and the cops is that one of them carries a badge.
That's not always the case, but often enough to really get my hackles up.
I was briefly a LEO, over 15 years ago. In my experience, around 10-15% of the officers were "integrity challenged."
My father was one about the same time, but we were far enough in the sticks they were still called Peace Officers....and I'll agree with your numbers.
I shudder to think about what the number is now.
IMHO- They should change Protect and Serve to Collect and Observe.
