HI Sue,
That's the important point. Considering what a cop has to deal with and
face on a daily basis I don't think ANY of us would fail to understand
why they feel like beating the hell out of people. And that is exactly
why they are trained to deal with this emotion and to suppress it while
doing their jobs.
I still think there are many more good cops than bad cops and slowly but
surely we are seeing some solutions. It doesn't seem that the good cops
are as committed to the code of silence as we saw in the past.
