Not all cops are bad. But when the good cops either tollerate or cover up this kind of treatment of the public, they dishonor their badge just the same as the bad cops do.

Agreed. However, not all "kids" are bad either, but when they tolerate or cover up bad behavior in public, they dishonor themselves as well.

True enough. But we can't ground the police or take away their car for a month. I can put a leash on my kid...the cop who misbehaves is another story entirely.
