Just this week a bodycam from NYC officer shows him planting drugs over 2 years ago. The person who's involved took a plea deal because they didn't want to risk going to jail for many years. The cop still has his job and this wasn't the first time.
Try getting a job in the US with a criminal record.
This is a misnomer.
Cops are not actually "to protect and serve", and this has been proven in court.
Their function is to uphold the law. That's it.
