Good cop vs. bad cop

Blowing the whistle on police brutality means retribution.

The issue of police brutality is a serious one, and one that I have spoken on in previous posts.  I have expressed my opinion that the abuse of authoritive power (in any form) is one of the worst abuses possible.  When placed in a position of trust, a person should be required and expected to perform their duty with extreme merit and dedication to truth.  Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.  People get the power that a position such as being a police officer brings and take advantage of it to either take things they couldn’t normally have, unleash their anger against people in normally condemned ways, or both.  Sometimes, a police officer witnesses their fellows abusing the system and steps up to stop them.  And sometimes the one who is on the side of right is the person who gets punished.
