I'm not big on the Blue wall of silence that Police agencies are prone to. I've had the experience of a disgraced (IE. convicted felon) ex-cop getting preferential (positive) attention from law enforcement officials after relocating to my area from a scandalous drug sting in Kalifornia. Take it from me, there is NOTHING more dangerous than a bad cop!!! I hope this killer gets dead or has the courage to Bleach himself out of the gene pool... I also feel that some of the most admiral humans I've ever met were LEO's or Firefighters...it just depends.
I agree. I'm just trying to point out that, yes, sometimes even cops go bad. The badge does not magically transform fallable humans into demi-angels.
So, yes, there are times when people have to defend themselves against bad cops. Thankfully, such cases are relatively rare.
