And I mentioned to you, the harm that comes from meeting a bad cop is so high that every person must be on guard whenever contacted by LEO.

Further, you logic is as bad as your reading comprehension. You disingenuously claimed that as a DUI Instructor you knew no way to falsify a DUI, then when presented with stories that demonstrate how easy it is and how often is does occur, you retreat to the coward's argument of how it's the media fault.

Is it the media that sent those innocent men to death row, that beat the confession, that falsified those DUIs, that lied about the moving violations, that arrested the person just to feel good about himself, that lied to cover up the bad acts of another cop?

No, of course not. But rather than confront those problems within your force, you'd rather blame someone else. As a reporter and a lawyer I have friends serving as public defenders, as prosecutors and as federal LEO. We have had spirited discussions on why the "Thin Blue Line" exists, but never has anyone been so dishonest as to deny its existence.

Your analytical skills deducing my experience with police are simply abysmal. You are, again, clutching for an excuse to prevent critical thought. I have great respect for the vast majority who are honest and diligent. But I repeat again, because the special powers we vest in the police also allow its bad actors to inflict such harm, and because the police do not police themselves, every police officer must be treated with suspicion. Society, myself included, excuses the occasional LEO killing of an innocent man because "how did the cop know he wasn't a bad guy." If you can approach every person on the street as if he is a criminal, then we can approach you in the same manner. I'd bet that statistically speaking we're more likely to be right than you are.

But here is your biggest tell:

Yes. I expect you to do your job and to do it honestly. Why do you have such a problem with that?
