Better narrow that down to some, Not all. I know a ton of officers very personally and I don't know any of them that would have handled this situation like that. This guy was an idiot that doesn't need to be doing the job, but please don't throw all of us in the same hat just because of him. I've never mistreated one person on the job.


I wish all were like you. Also , if more god cops would inform and help weed out the bad ones it would go a long way towards cleaning up the professions image. I think the thin blue line issue is one of the biggest enablers for bad cops.
