There are about 36,000 police officers in NYPD. How many have killed a man? Percentage wise not many. Does that make the rest of the trained police officers any less of an officer? No. How many people walk by a crime in progress? Many, they don't want to get involved. How many would be the first to jump in? Not many. I have been to too many scenes where a women was robbed and beat up in a street full of people and not one person helped.
If you are going to stand up against a group of hi-jackers make sure someone else stands up with you or you will be the sacrificial lamb.
