It might change some peoples minds on cops.. But will it change the minds of those bashing the unions and claiming it a set up movment etc? Doubt it.

if cops want my respect and trust, they would end "the brotherhood" and stop covering up for the scumbags that give them a bad name. but few are willing to stand up, because initially the personal cost is too great. why is this a person i would admire/respect/trust?

This will never happen my friend.

Any time you form a group that is expected to handle the worst of our human problems, they will form a tighter connection to each other through the trauma they experience than the world which sleeps comfortably on their watch.

You MUST trust absolutely the man covering your 6. Thus, that trust is more precious than any perceived morality.

This holds true for military as well.

If you want to end the corruption, then we as a society must stop expecting certain individuals to handle our problems for us, and learn to handle them ourselves.

As much as I detest the badge, I sympathize with those we have put the expectation on to wear it.

What a burden it must be to see our absolute worst behavior, and yet still see us as human.

With Love,

Your Brother
