There are good cops - and they are rooted out [1] [2]. "Doing the right thing" is a fireable offense, apparently.

Some good links to some infuriating stories.

Maybe what both sides could unite around is an organization that will back up these officers?

~ "The Good Apple Officer Organization"

At the most basic level, could cover the pensions of whistle-blowers - and I'd guess for every story we hear now, would get a dozen more out there.

I genuninely believe most people who join law enforcement want to make the world a better place. Question is simply how can we help them do this?
