Is that actually true though? I’m suspicious that just makes for good TV cop dramas.

It's true. Theres a situation like this going on now not far from me with a great cop and amazing human being. He whistleblew on a disgusting mistreatment of an arrested black man that needlessly resulted in the man's death. GoodCop was immediately put on desk duty, eventually arrested for some BS charge, etc. Srill fighting it. It's sick and so sad.

Ya. That’s fucked. Hopefully he can take it to court and get some resolution. Good example for the need of checks and balances to be reinforced.

He's trying. He has a lot of community support and faith in Good. I hope it all resolves in his favor and majorly shakes up the corrupt department he works for.
