Sure there are bad cops, there is bad or good in any job field. It's all about attitude and maturity.

Imagine if you will what this country/society would look like with out the thin blue line.

As far as the pay issue goes, that's all relative. Some, I said some required you to live in your county/wherever or a few minutes away. High cost=higher pay.


the thin blue line works/exists because it has the support of the public...financially, legislatively, and thru general goodwill and presumed good intent

The more that support erodes, the less effective police can be.


And that is why we need to do away with cell phone cameras or other means for recording police activities. Get us back to that happier time when the claims of the officers involved were all that mattered.
