The reason most don't step forward publicly is because if they do some of their fellow officers might see them as unreliable and as someone you have to watch your back with when you are around them or working with them. Maybe some see their silence as an endorsement of the behavior, but that doesn't mean it is.

I discussed one single case, yet as I said, there are numerous others in the past year alone. Those all did not involve the same police officers as you are trying to suggest. So your argument that it only includes a small percentage of the force is incorrect and you are trying to rewrite my argument. In every case, the social circle around the bad cop steps to his defense and they are a different circle of cops in each incident. At what point do you start to realize that this is a pervasive problem throughout the entire force when several random circles of bad officers all act the same way to protect their own when they are obviously guilty of violent crimes?
