And some people here wonder why so many people don’t trust “law enforcement officers”.

yes, this one J/O should ruin it for the rest if us.

if i post a positive story about a cop, will it reverse the trend?

While in college, I had a senior seminar class in law enforcement. There was a ditzy girl in my class who could never grasp the concept of why it was wrong to accept free meals/coffee/etc. while on duty. She kept trying to compare the police to doctors and others that she said got “freebies.”

Of course, since she was a female, I’m sure she had no problem finding a job. God help those under her protection.

A few bad apples is almost unavoidable.
What is more troubling is that it took 15 years to identify this petty(?) crook.
Where were all the other cops all this time?

people here wonder why so many people don’t trust “law enforcement officers” - dated a lady for a couple of years whose father was retired Boston cop. She said he was the basic street cop, worked 20 years in the 60s and 70s. This basic street cop retired with an apt building, a home in Boston, a place at the beach, another place on the beach in Miami, and two boats (sail and power boat) at each beach house. Kinda thought he was a pretty good investor for a street cop.
