[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3567770, member: 5800"] I probably could have been more clear if I had added quotes to the phrase: [I]Except that the "good" ones seem to shelter the bad ones.[/I] I think it's funny how often the phrase "a few bad apples" gets tossed around without it's second half of "spoils the bunch". Kind of ironic in a way because it kind of admits that there are bad apples and if you know the full phrase it somewhat admits that those few are a spoiling agent for the whole bunch. The hero worship thing is real. It's the result of years of propaganda that's designed to elevate the LEO's and military to a status above. That makes it easier when the fascists start their takeover because the people on the ground will be the good guys, and the jackboots will do it because they don't want to rock the boat and lose their status. In the corporate world, the best companies and teams I worked for are the ones where the leaders would get just as dirty as the guys on the floor and lead by example, but that is not true in the LEO world. Especially with all the videos having come out in the last few years from questionable shootings (that any of us would be locked up for) down to "minor" things like texting while driving, speeding in the cruiser or whatever. There's more and more records and videos generated for the public to see that there's no elevated standard of morals or ethics --- only an elevated burden of proof when they do something that'd get us locked up.
