I believe I have taken teensy (been waiting to use that word for 3 months, thanks) step down the road on several posts. I've often said we disagree on the extent of the issues brought up here or the degree of corruption alleged. For every Youtube video of a cop doing something stupid, abusive or outright criminal, there 10's of thousands of video's no one cares to see of cops doing a great job. No one here is arguing cops don't screw the pooch, we are arguing on how often the pooch gets screwed for the most part. For the record I'm against screwing pooches. And I've always been close to patrol. I spent the majority of my years in a patrol function. I haven't done so in about 5 years but I am pretty up to date on the latest things and having spent 25 years in that capacity, I doubt I've lost insight to that aspect. But it is for the younger folks no doubt

Yes. And your point is..

The same applies to any job.
Only when the Fcuk ups occur are People interested & kick up a stink.
We are all paid to do a job Correctly.
Sadly there are just so many videos of cops Fcuking up Badly.
It's a Big cause for concern for Many Many People.
