Reply #3: I think you're right.

The famous "Blue Wall" will kill you. I think that's a very reasonable fear.

It seems that every few weeks we have another story of law enforcement committing vile abuses of civil rights and getting away with it because they're law enforcement. There doesn't see to be any abuse that will really cause a scandal.

Even here in NYC where we've had some of the worst scandals, it always gets pinned on one or two "bad apples" and the department as a whole gets a free pass.
