For all you people getting your education and news from You Tube:
"There are as of 2006, 683,396 full time state, city, university and college, metropolitan and non-metropolitan county, and other law enforcement officers in the United States. There are approx. 120,000 full time law enforcement personnel working for the federal government adding up to a total number of 800,000 law enforcement personnel in the U.S."
Now, do your math and give me the percentage of bad cops. The rate of bad priests is ten times that in the Catholic Church. I am a retired police officer, Detective First Grade and Parole Officer, and I am a Roman Catholic. I accept that there are bad representatives in all walks of life, but I still deal with reality, and an extremely large majority of law enforcement deserve the respect they earn from the majority of law abiding citizens.
