I feel sorry for you folks that have nothing but bad apples in the barrel. I work with some really fine, straight and true folks. They might not ALL be that way, but the majority are doing their job to the best of their ability and to "Protect and Serve".
Don't paint them all with some a*hole's brush.......... No different than the fact that there are good cattlemen, and bad cattleman, Good preachers and Big-time sinners, etc.

Many are, but LazyA there is very little room for the ones that aren't. Cattlemen and preachers can't stop me, arrest me, plant something on me, or shoot me and claim I was a threat. Then other bad cattlemen or preachers can't help them cover it up. You have to see that with that occupation, there is a whole lot of authority and power. It needs to be checked. And everything that occurs, needs to be checked by the constitution.
There is more corruption in this country than ever before. It is blatant and is in the highest office of the land. Where are you going to appeal to when the highest office is full of thugs? Those thugs dictate policy.
Several of the ones carrying out this crap are probably pretty decent people that I would get along with at a coffee shop. But few are the number of real men that will step up and say to their boss, this isn't right and I'm not doing it.
That takes some testiclefortitude. You have to be willing to pack your bags and find a new job, and possibly a new house, and uproot your kids. People in general aren't willing to put themselves out that much for someone else.
I told the president, CEO and CFO of a national company one time that what they were doing was wrong (taking away promised production pay from lower level employees at my work, because they did too good of a job), and I wouldn't be a part of it or condone it to the employees. I knew I might as well clean out my drawers right then and there, but I don't regret it. Took a few months, but they got around to creating a few things on me. Never was fired, but I got the hint and left before I gave them a legitimate excuse. Three other people that I think are decent people, who worked there longer than I did, and 2 of which superior to me- said NOTHING. Left me hanging in the wind by myself. Just prior to the meeting, they had a lot to say.
I can see how corruption happens, people are people. Play against their weaknesses.
I say this with no ill intent: If it doesn't apply to you, don't take it personally.
