text: I'm tired of hearing the apologists' mantra that there are only a few bad apples and that most police officers are good, upstanding members of the force,  That is patently false, which is proven by the actions or inaction of the so-called good officers.
  
  If they were so good and honourable, they would call out those among them who are the bad actors and drum them out of the force.  They see what's going on but they do nothing, therefore they at best condone and in reality are often complicit after the fact (with such things as edited field notes).
