A specious argument at best. Continuation of the classic use of fear tactics to justify the abuses which are rampant in the profession. The need for policing does not and never will justify abuses of power. Unfortunately, some of us live in New Jersey, where racism and classism is endorsed and taught in our police academies first and by senior mentors to junior officers subsequently. For that matter, there is also New York, Los Angeles... Then of course, there are the risks of telling an officer, "no," or talking back, even within your rights to do so. Suddenly, one is threatened with being 'taken to jail' or maybe just roughed up a bit. Your profession has brought its PR problems on itself. If you want to solve the problems, knock off the use of scare tactics when confronted with them, knock off the denials, and knock off the code of silence crap, and demand a change in the behavior of your colleagues.
