Not where I live.

Maybe you can provide an example of one of your presumed good cops outing a bad cop?

Cops who won't enforce the law against other cops are bad cops and bad humans.

You are working on the assumption that there are bad cops and so no reports of cops reporting cops means that they are all bad.

That is the 9-year-old method of looking at the world. Cops have slightly different laws that they abide by than you. Tell us that a cop seeing a suspect pulling his hand rapidly out from behind him when told to raise his hands and the cop shooting the suspect because he saw a glint in the dark backyard some person's backyard at night has THE RIGHT to answer with lethal force. You don't like it? Tough.

"Cops have slightly different laws that they abide by than you."?

They do? I had thought in the U.S. that police obeyed the applicable
federal and state laws, but now you tell us that they have special
laws, one assumes peculiar only to police?

We'll have to ask the resident lawyer here whether that is true or
not. After all when the cops were caught banging away on old Rodney,
there, it seemed like that had failed to obey California State laws,
not "cop laws".

Or should we just chalk this up to yet another of Tom's fantasies ?

I can't speak to Tom's intent or opinion but police are
judged by a different standard from your average putz in
several critical areas when push comes to shove.

Not that there's anything wrong with that in principle, even
if we do as a nation carp about specific instances.
