Sometimes people are blinded by loyalty and friendship. It doesn't make it it right, but it happens every day.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying every cop is good. There are bad cops. I understand that. But in my experience most of them are not bad cops. Most of them go to work, do their job and go home. they aren't dirty, they aren't criminals, but we don't hear about them.

Again there are 15,000 cops in Chicago. Even if 1,500 of them are dirty, that means 90% of them are not.

I can give you a bunch of examples of various people in this business screwing people over and stealing money/content etc. Does that mean that everyone in this business is a thief and a scumbag?
