Yeah I have made a similar comment before the police in general are good. For me it's the fact they will not admit mistakes.

For most people you expect the law and it's reprasentatives to be shining examples, whiter than white, but these are big organisations you always will get bad apples.

Problem is the authorities are so worried they don't appear whiter than white, they cover up or close ranks on fuck ups. I'd have more faith if they admit there's some that are just wrong uns and absolutely hunted them down and punished them, as soon as they found them for bringing them into disrepute.

Do think you guys into the US need to look into why your police need to be so heavily armed, although things like the Norco and the North Hollywood shootouts, makes me think maybe thats what you need when you have a heavily armed populace, tricky one that makes you wonder on the psycholgy of a traffic stop in the US, must be a bit tense.
