Wow lots down with man here. Well I am the man ( I guess) a full time police Detective. First let me say I agree there are dumb asses in every field to include law enforcement. Every one of those people, especially the cops, should get called on the carpet for crap like that. I have had to plant GPS units in bad cops police vehicles quite a few times and been a part of removing them from duty. So I agree they are out there. By and large that is not the case. I teach cops all over the country so I have got meet, work, and drink beer (that is where the truth comes out) with cops in about half the states in the US. They are mostly all good people.
I was part of a trial awhile back a young lady had been beaten to death in a hotel room. I spent months working on that case. Away from family to help another family find the man that murdered their daughter. We caught the guy, put him in jail, had a trial (with 12 people, not unlike yourselves making the call), he was convicted. The officers that worked the case had an entire row in the courtroom and sat behind the family for the length of the three week trial in a show of support and solidarity. That wasn't the cool part though. The cool part was when they read the verdict of guilty. Her mother wept and went down that row of police officers, hugged and thanked every one on behalf of her daughter. That is why I go to work everyday.
Here is the good news. Is that we are used to this stuff on the internet, in the paper, and even spray painted on our cars in the driveways of our homes. So when its your wife, child, or parent that has been assaulted, kidnapped, or murdered we will still come. We will still work hard. We will still give a jury all the information they need to make an informed choice. I will still sit with your family. You don't even have to hug me. That last one should last for awhile.
