Obviously the press has been holding back on this topic!
Years ago I took a law course at a University. The instructor was a former cop and mayor of a town in S. Dakota. He stated about half of the police have a criminal mind in that they want to push people around. Some do it against the law and some work with the law. He said this was a real problem and the police schools don't screen well enough to keep these guys out.
