[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2739519, member: 18914"] I keep hearing this same refrain that Sheriffs Depts. are worse, or more prone to police abuse or corruption than PDs. I think BB's objection is valid here, i.e. Show some evidence. I grew up in NYC with the country's largest and most professionalized PD. yet as a kid I remember we were just coming out of the Knapp Commission scandals (remember Serpico?), likewise again in the 80-90 and there are signs of mini-scandals in the 2010s. So, a long rant to say that while SDs have issues, I am pretty sure PDs have their own and I don't think one is really "cleaner" (or dirtier) than the other - one may have more cronyism, the other may become more isolated into an us/them mentality, etc. [/QUOTE]
