BB is acting like it NEVER happens. It's not every day lke whiners say, but it's not "never" as the ass-killing, compliant lapdog police kneepadders claim. There are bad cops that do bad shit... they're just rare. The problem is them AND the cops that won't turn them in.
Imagine firefighters not turning in a firebug they work with. Imagine teachers not turning in another teacher who molests because 'yeah, but his math scores are awesome'. Disgusting, this blue wall.
I think its even more rare, certainly in my experience, when a cop knows another cop is breaking the law, certainly committing a felony offense, and they don't say something. Even if just for the sake of keeping their jobs. Again, let me say I am naive about NYPD and LAPD. My experience in a Dept that considered large but pales in comparison to those two departments is that "bad" cops are outed by cops. It's not a made up number that the vast majority of our Internal Affairs complaints originate from inside the department. Corrupt cops don't last long here. No doubt some exist as I type this and tomorrow we may all read about a local cop who was robbing banks on the side..but there won't be any cops covering up for him. With recordings it's almost impossible for cops to get away with anything anymore. Yeah, there are bad cops, and its my job and every other person wearing a badge to get them off the force. Back to your example of the firefighters..yeah, there have been fire fighters that have set fires in the past, but I doubt any of his coworkers knew about it. If they did and didn't report it, their dirt bags. Same with cops. This blue wall isn't that high these days.. at least not in my experience
