If there were <br />good cops they would do their jobs....arrest the ones they witness doing all these<br />horrific things. But that only happens when their is video proving their associates<br />are criminals and thus they can't safely turn a blind eye to their sins. In short<br />the system is rotten, corrupt and worthless and all part of it are criminals either<br />by commission or omission.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-40967534411008955232016-05-10T18:46:53.113-07:002016-05-10T18:46:53.113-07:00Phelps, I believe you are correct.

...I think that dichotomy is largely geographical. <br /><br />If you are in a large metro area, all the cops you see/know ARE all jackbooted fascist thugs (or at least turn their face and forget everything they see while their fascist compatriots put their jackboots on the necks on the populace).<br /><br />If you are in a rural area, you think that the bad ones are few and far between because there is only that one bad one in your area (never mind that all the good ones in your area never manage to work up the courage to report That Guy for beating up teenagers and stealing from the Mexicans.)Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300383054312690873noreply@blogger.com
