ZapMan:

As you tell the story your role was not abusive, but, as you are fully aware, you did not do the job you were trained to do.

I am sure everyone remembers the "Rodney King" incident.

There were something like 26 police officers on the scene. Only four or five were actually involved in the beating inflicted on Rodney King.

Some of the officers at the scene were members of the California Highway Patrol. All of the CHP's received an official repremand that went into their jackets, for not attempting to stop and/or arrest the officers that were beating Rodney King.

My point being that you, at the least deserve an official repremand. The ones that actually were abusive should be terminated, or at the very least, suspended for a long period of time, without pay.

The "goon squad" is trained to take control and subdue, not to abuse.

I have known several CO's who made careers of it, one being, the one that I mentioned that was a school mate of mine and was a CO for 23 years, and another, also being a school mate of mine, who spent 30 years.

From some of the stories they have told me it is not a pleasant job (an understatement), which is understandable, and it is difficult not to take things personally and to maintain a professional attitude, but as someone once said; "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen".
