[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2247751, member: 24446"] When I was a LEO and seeing the inside of a few different departments both in and outside Oklahoma I can say that I was pretty disappointed with what I saw. True, most LEO's I've been around on the job are good people who follow the rules and do it right. However, I've yet to see a department yet, even small ones, that doesn't have officers that seem great on the surface but once they are out on the street it's a totally different story. Now, most of them are good, decent people who do the job because they actually want to make things better for the good guys. The other LEO's...well they do it because they get off on the power, they believe the badge justifies their actions, they may falsify reports to make charges stick, they may physically assault the suspected bad guy, they just don't care because they know they aren't going to get caught. I can totally believe, at least some of these non-LEO "trainers", were doing all that crap. It happens all the time all over the place because it is so difficult to weed out that bad ones. One of the biggest reasons is soooo many people who are stopped by the police make fake claims about the officers conduct hoping to get off of their charge. So even the most crystal clean officer is constantly being hit with complaints and so when legitimate complaint comes around they aren't believed and Mr. Crappy Cop goes on his merry way again to do whatever he wants. They definitely need to hammer these drug corridors though. They need to, IMO, legalize marijuana (even though I don't use it) and take those millions and millions and millions of dollars and put it towards the real problem...other drugs. Stop flooding the jails and prison systems with people who's only crime was smoking pot. Use that space to pack the cells with hard drug criminals that are being nailed because there is all these new funds to fight the problem. [/QUOTE]
