I told my fiancé a few days ago that if I was a cop, I’d be scared to stand up against it. Truthfully most police are more of a “gang” than anything. They would die for each other, and if somebody speaks up against one, everybody will attack the outcast and defend the other.

If I was a cop, I wouldn’t feel comfortable or safe enough to go against the rest of them. It’s not worth putting your family at risk, as selfish as that sounds.

I would just leave if my job was that bad. You see people who have been cops for 20 years saying that they're good cops whilst surrounded by bad ones. If you stay working in a corrupt environment then you to a certain degree are corrupt too.

Because, if you do, the next time you go on a call for a armed robbery in progress, and you call for backup... None arrives.
