The idea that most cops are good and there are only few "bad apples" can easily be proven false. Look at when a cop breaks the law and it's clearly caught on camera, all the other cops come to his defense. If they were mostly good, wouldn't they want to purge the "bad apples" when they are caught?
Here in Chicago, an off duty cop beat a female bartender on camera for almost two straight minutes. He was obviously guilty, yet all the other cops gave him special treatment, used police vehicles and their own authority to block the press and even gave him special rides to and from court so he could avoid the media. Why would they go to such lengths to protect this obvious "bad apple"? It's because most cops are actually bad with a few good apples here and there. They have adopted this "us against them" mentality and believe that everyone who is a non cop is out to get them. They dress and act more like a pseudo military organization instead of police officers meant to support the citizens who pay their salary.
BTW, I can post 10 stories in Chicago from the last year exactly like the cop who beat that woman and other cops protected him. Everything from beatings to killings. They are in the paper and you can google them. It basically proves the whole few bad apple theory as completely false, at least in Chicago.
