Hopefully you'll think about your statement, the cop you let die may be one of the most compassionate and helpful people in the world, in other words a human being.

Then maybe THEY should reverse that. They keep treating our lives as nothing, but expect our concern and support as if it is theirs by right of God. You reap what you sow. And they’ve sown an arrogant disregard for other people’s lives. LE has had crappy attitudes about the deaths of innocent people at cop hands. Even the chief of the NYC stairwell shooting simply dismisses it as an accident, that should have no consequences.
As long as cops have that attitude about my life and dignity, they can pound sand over anything they want from me. Actions have consequences, even for cops.
As for the myth of the good cop. There are only two possibilities. Either there are too few good cops to deal with the issue of bad cops, or those ‘good’ cops are perfectly comfortable with the bad ones among them.
I will remember that when Officer Harless went nuts in OH, the other officers of his department gave him their support. That is the measure of their concern for a bad cop.
