That's what a lot of people don't get. It's true that there are relatively few "bad cops". The problem is the "good cops" won't do anything to get rid of the bad ones. They overlook, ignore and outright lie to cover their "brothers".
That talk about the cops wanting body cameras is new. Every time I've read about cameras being implemented, the cops push back on it pretty hard. But when cops wear cameras, complaints plummet. Read into that what you will. I know there is added expense with adding these cameras but I really think they're worth it.
