Just like in every echelon of society?
How many thieves, liars, rapists, child molesters and murderers have been put away thanks to honest policing?
If you got burgled, car got stolen, Mrs or kids got attacked would you call the police?
There's bad people everywhere Dave. Sometimes you have to trust someone.
sweeping serious crimes under the carpet to protect informers isn't in there job description but they do it every day..there not to be trusted
If they're "not to be trusted", you'd better hope you never get burgled, robbed, assaulted or have your car stolen mate !
