After further investigation another video has emerged of drugs being planted, however this time it involves seven different police officers who were not involved in the first video.

So first it was "Eh, it's just three bad apples". Now I guess it's just 10 bad apples.

I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that cops have obviously been doing this for years, or the fact that there are many people who refuse to see it as a "real" problem. It's just some bad apples. Well those bad apples quickly added up from 3 to 10 in a matter of 2 weeks. How many more is there? Or are we just to assume those are the last ones? At this point I believe every police department deserves to be investigated and called out on their BS.

And this isn't me being a cop hater. I don't understand why people are always so quick to defend law enforcement saying things like "Hey at the end of the day when you're in trouble you're going to call 911".

So what? That means you're not allowed to criticize the actions of law enforcement and call them out on their bullshit? And why is that? Because they're out there risking their lives?

I'm sorry but that's the job they signed up for. I feel people have a warped sense of respect. I don't respect law enforcement because they decided to sign up for a dangerous job. I respect law enforcement because I assume that they are not just enforcers of the law but also the ones who follow it to the highest extent.

They are supposed to be the embodiment of the law walking with arms, hands, feet and legs. Yet repeatedly we see their actions being brought into question. Law enforcement didn't just start doing thinge like this 6 months or 2 years ago. They've been doing it for years. It's just that now technology is finally catching up to the misconduct.

On the news last night the police chief(I think) had some rambling statement about a single image from the body cams doesn't tell a whole story.

Kind of sad.
