Agree 100%
I agree that the number of bad cops out there is probably a lot smaller than we might think; at the same time, the number IS significant, and it is being ignored and discounted by the people who have the ability to make changes in LEO behavior and by LEOs themselves. And let's face it, law enforcement is not an area where ANY percentage of corruption or incompetence is acceptable. Not even .0001% Let's not compare LEOs to plumbers, teachers, lawyers, etc. (BTW, if you want to talk about a demographic that gets a much worse rap than it deserves, let's talk about the teaching profession. No matter how bad cops are demonized, teachers have it worse).
Instead, let's compare the acceptable levels of corruption and incompetence in LEO agencies to that allowed in commercial airline pilots and air traffic controllers.
There, that put things into perspective, didn't it?
