You make a good argument and I believe that it's just not happening in Oakland or California...but everywhere. Whenever a case arises all the police unions chime in like puppets. The few bad apples here and there are bring the rest down. "We let the so-called "public-safety" unions shake us down our citizens and civilian government. They have ineffective checks and balances -- and have rigged the system for little accountability for bad acts. They cover up for the liars, sadists and criminals on their team. For all the street-justice cases we hear about there are dozens that are covered up. And its a not merely a white police officer thing - its a police thing. It can be people of color, women, immigrants - it just seems to attract abusive people. Many are traditionally vets, with untreated PTSD. Police tell me privately that their is traditionally major alcoholism and domestic abuse with officers that is not made public as it would be if you or I were busted. And.. corruption - theft, falsifying evidence, even shit like illegal searches and trading private sexy photos from citizen's cellphones and computers" And yes, the left once was afraid of government
