I like people, therefore, I think even the worst can be reformed.
It’s less about the individual people and more about the system itself
Good cops can only exist until they come in contact with a bastard cop.
When a police officer beats someone to death or shoots an unarmed motorist or steals drugs from the evidence room, there is often at least one witness: Another cop
At that point the good cop either becomes complisit in the cover up and is no longer a good cop, or they report it in which case they will be excluded, fired, harassed, sent to dangerous situations without backup, or die under unusual circumstances.
Yeah, I think that can apply to the people of a police department. We don't really have a uniform guideline for policing.
I'm sure there are best practices but, I'm unaware of a standardized protocol for all departments nationwide.
