I believe 60 minutes or 20/20 or somebody found that cops have an
overwhelming tendency to lie on the stand. Even when they're not running
scams that would make themselves be criminals. It's because they're so
intense to get people locked up...they believe everybody is guilty and
they're willing to become felons themselves to make sure the nasty people
get convicted.

Kinda perverse logic ain't it? Become a Felon to make sure the 'bad guys'
get locked up? Probably don't have to worry about your fellow cops
testifying either. It's okay when the FBI, Justice Department, and local
cops do it, just don't let civilians do it....
