The other cops are forced to depend on bully, mean, crooked, and even killer cops to cover their backs so they can stay alive. When it comes down to a choice between cops' lives and perps' lives, the cops are going home to their spouses and children. It doesn't help anyone to make them scapegoats. The problem is perpetuated by the political hierarchy, both uniformed and civilian politicians, who don't weed the bad cops out; because, they don't want to pay (time and money) for the process (legal battles and training replacements) until they absolutely have to. Eighty-Five percent of all problems are directly traceable to top management. Don't you know anything⸮
