The 'Code of Honor' does a great disservice to those who serve honorably when the level of police abuse reaches the depths exhibited in Baltimore and elsewhere.
Richland County SC Sr Dep Ben Fields who assaulted a teenager in a classroom is merely one egregious example. His previous abusive conduct was ignored.
"Where are all the good cops?” Critics of police brutality and abuse of power often wonder this – sometimes aloud, often on social media. But there is an answer to that question – it’s not purely rhetorical – the “good cops” are driven out of work by the bad cops.
Far from being “a few bad apples,” Detective Joseph Crystal of the Baltimore Police Department says that he was targeted by other officers for trying to root out corruption."
“If you snitch, your career is done,” one officer told him. He eventually became public enemy No. 1 inside the Baltimore Police Department. But before that, he was considered a rising star in law enforcement."
