I’ve never met a ‘bad’ cop yet. The ‘few’ bad apples must be rare indeed because many a ‘good’ cop has saved my very life.
This CHILD did not deserve to have a beat-down. Nor does she ‘deserve’ one from her parents. Tough love doesn’t mean ROUGH love. I was ‘beat’ by my mother and it made me MORE rebellious not LESS rebellious.
Law enforcement can’t be a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ type of thing. Just like we uphold judges, lawyers and preachers to a high standard…we also hold our law enforcement up to that standard as well. If you can’t ‘hack’ it…don’t do the job if you’re goin’ to go ‘postal’…don’t push the envelopes.
The few bad cops in the bunch don’t make the rest of the GOOD cops bad. Just don’t stand up for the bad apples by defending them when there is NO DEFENSE.
