Bad cops

In every group there are bad apples and police departments are no exceptions. In the past two years thousands of officers have quit many because they felt those in charge did not have their backs. The question is how many who quit were the bad cops. No one knows but here is an amateur psychologist explanation. A bad cop is one who uses his authority to build up his ego, to lord it over people. Protect and serve are not his motivation. It is highly unlikely that he will quit. He needs this to feel like a whole person. Fortunately, like all groups, the bad guys are a small minority.
