(62,325 posts)25. Where are they? As I said above, I know of three so far. All of them have been villified
by the cops in general.
IF they exist, they should be joining the people in asking for equal treatment under the law, that isn't too much to ask.
We are TOLD that this is our system, but as people take a look at the record, which more and more are doing now, it is clear that there are two sets of rules when it comes to our judicial system, and cops come under the 'no accountability' rule, exempt from the law, no matter what they do.
Good cops, and we know they exist, dare NOT speak out. THAT is how bad the culture they have established is.
If you want to help the good cops, then why are you asking people to be silent about the bad ones?

Sabrina, I don't think I've ever asked anyone to be silent about the bad ones.

I can think of a few reasons why some would never say anything negative about cops.
