13. I grew up there, too. I've known many cops over the years.

My Dad owned a bar that a lot of cops from Shakespeare (14th) frequented.

My Dad also palled around with a Chief of Detectives, Bill Hanhardt, He turned out to be the leader
of a jewel theft ring, but that's a story for another time.

An ex-bro-in-law is a Homicide Detective (he's a boy scout/clean cop). Several childhood friends became cops ("the family business", LOL). Some clean, some dirty.

My point is, I've heard a lot about their world from the horses mouths. While most do a good job, there are more shady ones, and just plain assholes out there than people like to think.

It's not a matter of "just a few" bad ones.
