Yup, those Hero types are all upright and upstanding. Most of them are great, honest, family guys that do not and will not cover for their occasional filthy co-worker. They just want to get home to their families after their honorable shift of upholding justice. Yup.
And whats worse; this cover up is two different police departments, a police chief, and a detective, (Loveland and Evans) covering up for each other.
Regarding many, many cops, that is completely true. I've known plenty of vets who became cops, and they didn't drop their sense of honor because they put on a new uniform.
The main problem is the guys who want to be cops not because they are interested in justice or happen to have a bent towards police work, but because they crave power and authoriteh. In our world filled with people seeking a sense of validation and fulfillment in all the wrong places because they don't know Jesus, there are far too many such men/boys becoming police officers. The secrecy and "got your back" ethos that come with all brotherhood organizations sink right in, unchecked by a native sense of right and wrong that better men temper the ethos with.

Yup. Just ask Nifster.
