To stick up for teaser re read what he said most people 90% of the population would feel that the police are corrupt... ( my guess teh other 10% are cops or their families.

I would have to agree with him. I'm not saying they are corrupt but the public image of the men in blue is a dirty one

Thank the media and the actions of the few dirty cops out there..

The job itself makes you unpopular giving out tickets and generally the only time people deal with police is something bad is going on... add in movies and tv shows with the main theme corrupt cop as either the star or the bad guys..

so it goes like this

Guy doing job + media + bad press + limited experience = Bad cop (no donut)

That's why I am curious as to what his definition of corrupt is....
