Reply #55: their professionalism is directly proportional to the amount of accountability

they might suffer if some constituency or other they deal with can come back and bite them in the ass.

a vast MAJORITY of cops are disciplined LIARS who fuck with evidence, plant evidence, and create contexts to make illegal arrests legal.

that's why criminal defense lawyers make good money: they get many cases thrown out in the pretrial phases because the cops usually do something illegal and prosecutors know there is no case.

i'm sure there are some good cops, but i have rarely met one.

most are supercharged rambo types with military pretensions. they like to bust shit and fuck people up.
