What makes good police officers turn bad? Some people may not even say that they are bad, some may say that they are just doing there jobs to the full extent.  When I read the Voice article on NYPD the main thing that stood out was the rapist who eluded arrest for so long because his case was being mishandled. As far as all the tickets and all of the summons and extra arrests go that’s their not necessarily doing anything illegal, they are just following the rules to the full extent. Its up to the police officer whether he wants to let someone go, write them a ticket, or arrest them and I feel that as citizens we are in no position to pass judgment onto them.  In blatant cases of police abuse, like taking bribes or planting evidence, that is obviously wrong and illegal. A lot of people say the cops are just thugs with guns and things of that nature, but my response to them is what is your alternative? What other better and more effective solution do you have for catching murderers and rapist? The fact of the matter is that these people put their lives on the line day in and day for lousy pay and no respect. What do they get in return, accusations and threats, when someone breaks into your house at 3 a.m. I’d like to see who the first person you call is. The clip I provide is by Officer Schoolcraft and his recordings. I don’t condone everything the cops did, but I admit they have a very difficult occupation and need some slack. NYPD Corruption
