4. True, to tar all cops is unjust.

Dec 2014

But the question I have is "Why don't the 95% (say) who are 'good' cops do something to get the few racist, violent and corrupt cops off the force?"

If that 95% of cops, who are heavily armed and have the whole justice system on their side, are too afraid to speak up about that dangerous 5%, what chance do us civilians have?
