There isn’t that many bad ones.
As far as the rest if your comment, they “close ranks” because A.) They don’t want to be viewed as “sniches”. B.) They want to be sure that backup actually arrives if and when they call for it.

But hey you are obviously of the persuasion that all cops are guilty of everything under the sun no matter what... Innocence be damned.
Jump to conclusions much? My dad was a cop, I grew up around them and respected them. Now I am suspicious of them. And I want bad cops called out and dismissed. If their bad acts call for it, I want them arrested. It rarely happens though. That is why they lost my trust.
I’ll give you this, you are honest about good cops covering up for the bad ones.
