Don't be silly; you made all that up. Some cops are aware of bad behavior and don't 'out' it. Some do. Like the rest of us. The rest are on the street doing good day after day. One doesn't 'cancel' the other in any way.

You're right, there are a few cops out there who out bad behavior. They are punished, demoted, fired, and even confined to insane asylums by the cops they "betrayed". http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/16/nyregion/officer-adrian-sc...

These cops are the true heroes. Unfortunately the reason we rarely hear about them is that there are incredibly few. Much more comfortable to stick with the herd, follow orders and take your check.

"Don't be silly;" It takes a special kind of evil to dismiss such injustice because it's mentally inconvenient. Shame on you.
Only injustice I'm 'dismissing' is the stereotyping in that comment.
