Unless I know the police officer personally, I wouldn't trust him/her any farther than I could throw him/her, and that is a sad state of affairs indeed.

The major majority of police officers are good people and do the right thing. It's the 1-2% that push the edge or outright break the law, get caught and are publicly outed that cause a skewed view of law enforcement in people today.

Everyone needs to be careful and don't violate the rules by generalized bashing of law enforcement in comments.

The so many issues we are seeing today are not the tiny minority of miscreant officers, but the administrators and agencies themselves. The issues of revealed about the shooting of the Houston couple isn't just about the one renegade co, but of the coverup by the chief, how could Goines continue his blatant behaviour for so long. It's hard to believe that his activities weren't widely known.

Law enforcement is like watching them make sausage. Particularly too those who respect and believe in the law and constitutional rights. What really bugs me about this incident is the reluctance of the county attornyto call out the crooked TABC agent.

Brazos County Attorney Rod Anderson, whose office prosecuted the case, said he was reluctant to say Agent Jergins lied. “Obviously what happened is different from what was described in his report,” he said. “Yes, he misstated the transaction that took place. But we felt it was nothing intentional.”

As an officer of the court, you would think they would be more aggressive about pursuing the truth, prosecuting for making false statements and eliminating the real criminals. I'm glad he did the right thing. I just wish he had more enthusiasm for flushing out the real thugs in the system.
