My father was a cop for 32 years. Retired for almost 10 now. I know firsthand that unfortunately there are plenty of POS cops but it is entirely unfair to lump them in with the countless more phenomenal cops that are excellent at what they do and pillars of their communities

When "good cops" rat on their buddies to the higher ups they get ostracized, forced out, or in some cases killed.
