Every time a cop shoots an unarmed person--often in the back--or roughs up a bystander, or misbehaves in such an obviously egregious way that even a blind Tea Party Republican can see that it's wrong, we hear the same thing:
"Sure there are a few bad apples, but most of the police are professional and besides they have such a tough job that blah blah blah..."
Some of that might even be true.
But here's the deal:
The police NEVER willingly get rid of any of their "few" bad apples.
On the contrary, they fight like hell to justify the actions of any cop who does anything, no matter how heinous, to anyone.
And so, there's an ever lengthening trail of busted heads and corpses left behind by the seemingly endless supply of "a few bad apples."
