so we really shouldn`t deny some officers really do tarnish their rep.
Who is denying there are not "bad apples" in every single profession?
not really an unearned image.
I disagree.
I think it is a very unearned image.
The police have very difficult jobs.
No one calls the police when everything is going well.
The police are usually called when something bad happens.
And the police have to make split second decisions in resolving these bad situations.
The police don't have the luxury of 20/20 hind-site.
Are there bad cops?
Of course there are....
there are bad people in every profession including judges, pilots, military, lawyers, teachers, clergy, ect....
