Because bad cops and there are some are news. Good cops, no matter how many there are, are not news. That’s why
I’m glad you’ve never made a typo. As for “good” cops, my question stands:
If there are so many of them, how can so many bad eggs get through the screening process?
If there are so many “good” cops, why do we never hear of them weeding out the scumbuckets that exist in every vocation?
Why is it that 99 times out of a hundred, a citizen’s complaint against an officer is dismissed? No other job I know of has that level of stellar employees.
How do police officers get away with trespassing and shooting dogs in their owner’s yards (on a leash in this specific case)? What would happen to YOU if you went into your neighbor’s yard and shot his dog?
There are some excellent officers out there, (the one that aided that young lady out in the middle of nowhere is a good example) but the public is getting tired of seeing cops break the law with impunity.
Something is going to break, and NOBODY is going to like the consequences.
