I will preface this by saying that there are cops in my family and I have the utmost respect for police. They have a very difficult and dangerous job to do. This article and the study it references absolutely shocked me. I think sometimes the media sensationalizes stories and and police in general are getting a bad rap. Ninety-nine percent of them are good people and good at their jobs. But I think the microscope that police agencies are under right now may be a good thing by bringing some of the bad apples back in to check and not hiding or covering up the problems and getting rid of the "brothers in blue" shield that has allowed these things to go on without consequences.
