I've always looked at my cop issues this way... 85% of the officers I've encountered in my life have been decent, straight forward individuals. I've had a couple friends, and some family join the force and they are shining examples.
Same as with any industry (i.e. adult,entertainment,banking,whatever)... it only takes 10-15%, if even that, of their representatives to appear or act shady before that's all anyone can talk about. Negative press goes a lot further in people's minds then positive for whatever convoluted reasons.
Most cops are just people like us trying to make a living, pay a few bills, and hopefully enjoying and getting a sense of satisfaction out of their profession.
