In reply to the discussion: ‘If you snitch, your career is done’ [View all]Unknown Beatle
(2,672 posts)56. I watched the video provided
when I clicked on the link, and what he says doesn't make sense. He says the the majority of cops are good, 98-99% in the department. If that was the case, the good cops vastly outnumber the bad cops and they could easily weed out corruption. But, he was forced to quit by a small percentage (1-2%) of corrupt cops?
At first he talked like the department is overrun by corrupt cops and then he says that the vast majority are good cops. I tend to believe his first statement, it's overrun by bad cops.
