That doesn't make any of it less true though. And no one is saying that there aren't good cops. No, there are far more good cops than bad ones. But some people will treat all law enforcement officers like the greatest people on the planet even when one exhibits horrible behavior. This is why I'm so torn when it comes to all of this pro/anti law enforcement stuff that's going on. Yesterday here in West Palm Beach, Florida we had 2 opposing sides marching in the downtown metropolitan area.
The local news interviewed people from both sides and they both had intelligent (and no so intelligent) arguments. There was a guy on the pro-cops side who said that officers have a dangerous job and second guessing can cost them their lives. Then there was some racist prick who basically said that if blacks weren't always up to no good they'd not always be shot by cops. On the flip side, there was a guy who labeled all cops as terrible racists and that "serve and protect" is all bullsh*t. Then there was a lady who was probably the most nuanced of all the interviewees. She stated that she doesn't like that the opposite group is being labeled as "pro law enforcement" because it makes her group seem like they're anti law enforcement. She said that we need cops and most cops aren't bad cops. But when a bad cop does do something bad people shouldn't always assume it's impossible for him to do so just because he's a cop. She stated that there was been people from all walks who've been entrusted to do good and have done the opposite.
That's the truth! So yes, I'm sure that this article has some truth to it. After all, the 3 most corrupt police departments in America are 1) New Orleans 2) NYPD and 3) LAPD.
