When I was a cop we had 2 officers get indited one for abuse for beating a prisoner in a cell and the other for having his own car stolen and filling a false insurance claim. I also know other officers who stood up for what was right and did the right thing.
You cannot hold all officers responsible for the reactions of a few. The fact is police officers for all their training etc are still just humans. They have all the weaknesses everyone else has.
They are held to a higher standard and this is acceptable. The problem is when they do go out of bounds it is far to often swept under the rug. This is the real problem.
