That video was mostly just confusing to me, because it seems so disconnected from the reality I know of most police officers that I met through my family. It seemed almost too surreal to be disturbing.Quote:

The problem is that the good police officers won't "rat" on the bad ones, and the very rare few that do are quickly ostracized and in some cases even run out of the force entirely. The Blue Wall of Silence leaves some pretty terrible people with a scary amount of power.
I can't comment on the specific members of your family, but police departments tend to breed a "we can do whatever the smurf we want" mentality. And when officers are very rarely held accountable, it leads to bullying, cover-ups, going after and killing people who annoy you, and killing dogs.
