This question was directed to cops, and I was just wondering if you are a
cop. If so, which agency do you work for.
 SK> I think it is widespread. Why? Because it happens ALOT!
 SK> Not that ALL cops do it...or even most.
Ok, where would you get your information from? What is ALOT? Would it be 1
cop in a hundred thousand, one in ten thousand, one in a thousand, what?
Would your opinions be flavored by the media frenzy when a single cop screws
up? Was it just a gut feeling, or how did you form your opinion? I am
sincerely interested in how you formed your opinion.
 SK> Perhaps it's that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts
 SK> absolutely". It also has to do with WHO would wish to be a cop. I
 SK> wouldn't...because I have ethics.
So, you can't have ethics and be a police officer at the same time??? I think
that most officers would find your statement very interesting, but odd.
 SK>                                                          but, just

Certain laws that pertain to the preservation of life and property, public
safety, and minimum standards that pertain to civic duty have nothing to do
with fascism.
