    I've said it before. I'll say it again. Police & prosecutors tell us they only have a few bad apples. We can agree to disagree on that. But what we keep getting is police & prosecutors going out of their way to PROTECT those few bad apples instead of holding them accountable.

        Exactly! I am still waiting for that first guilty case which will show all cops they WILL be held accountable for their actions. Maybe things will change then. Maybe.

        This nation needs to have a department of civil rights. A real, actual agency that upholds the rights guaranteed to us by the bill of rights and hold fully accountable those who violate them.

        The FBI has reported on the infiltration of white supremacists in police forces nationwide and nothing has been done. And nothing will be done unless they can get the F.O.P. to the table and that’s a hard rock to crack.

        These “few bad apples” have rotted the lot. I will never trust the police as long as I live.

        Yeah.. the full quote says that they spoil the lot. So you should get rid of them, not protect them.

        After a career in NYC law enforcement, part instructing officers and supervisors & part working in upper mgmt, I must say that your statement is absolutely correct.
