So.. is this a boys will be boys scenario? I'm not understanding your general point. It's clear these cops were operating like a mob organization, as do many precincts in this country. I see no harm in highlighting some wrong doing in hopes it'll curb other departments from doing the same.



My point is, you can find similar stories about any organization, from religious operations to charities to almost anything and people will stand up to it as if such things were rampant throughout every member and each and every one of them is a dastardly person.

These stories are what I call the 'shrill of the internet' and you are supposed to focus on it cause, well, someone's screaming about it on the internet so it must be important and rampant and we're all going to die.

In the meantime, you get into trouble and who are the first people you call for help?
