In policing just as in any other organization there are people who do it for the right reasons,
and those who don’t. It is my personal opinion that ninety-nine percent of people that become

their pocket, and because of this people will see more evidence of “bad apples” in policing using
excessive force, and unethical means to accomplish their goals of keeping the streets safe.
