[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3567644, member: 25419"] Nope. "sheltering the bad ones" kind of excludes them being "good ones". Does a surgeon that covers for his alcoholic, inept partner serve well when said partner botches a surgery? How many times have we seen videos of bad apples in uniform, find out they get fired or disciplined, yet the folks that helped them cover up misdeeds never get mentioned? Folks think I hate cops in general, I don't. I do see a huge problem with elevating them to hero status and legally protecting them from the public they are meant to serve. Instead of public accountability too often we get the thin blue line of defense and silence. This, coupled with a mostly conservative cheering section that's willing to excuse nearly anything with "you don't understand what a tough job it is". As for my earlier comment that was removed, I apologize. I made some assumptions about LEO's preferences, and I was probably 180 degrees off on that. [/QUOTE]
