The advent of cell phone cameras has really brought to light the bad cops.
About two years ago, a sheriff beat the bejeezus out of a Bills fan who did nothing but open his mouth to stave off another person's beating . It was all caught on camera, and now, the County and Sheriff are paying dearly for his stupidity.

Sadly, cell phone cameras haven't brought too much light to good cops. And I'm not saying there are no good cops or that it's the fault of the good cops. It's human nature. It's "if it bleeds it leads" and then there is the famous Mark Anthony quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to remind us that the more things change the more they remain the same:
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.
