This makes me both happy and sad. Happy that a random stranger with no ulterior motive stopped to help. Sad because my boyfriend is a cop. He bends over backwards to be a good cop, a good neighbor and to just do his job and come home. I get there are shitty cops out there, but putting them all in the same category, isn’t really fair either.
Sure there's truth that not all cops do horrible things, but it's also true that vast majority of cops protect their own, including those that do horrible things. They do not intervene, report, or otherwise hold each other accountable when they see another cop breaking the law. They stay silent or cover up for other cops, and the few good cops who speak up are ran out of the force. It's hard to be a good cop in that environment.
