Cop Killer

The vilification of Cop Killers has been around since there have been cops.
But what few wish to accept is that there are some effed-up cops on the streets.
But what is it that motivates one to kill those appointed to protect the masses?
Are Cop Killers always wrong?

I have many friends who belong to various police forces - some good, some bad.
Most people (not even criminals) don't have a problem with the good cops - it is usually when members of the force start believing that the laws do not apply to them that the problems arise.

As I said, I know a lot of good cops who work to solve problems - not just to solve cases.
But I've also heard about many officers who engage in trading twins (laundering counterfeit money), dealing and using drugs, theft of evidence and merchandise and many who are as crooked as the criminals they are sworn to arrest.

Have you ever wondered how cops can just get lucky and stop the right car on the highway that happens to be carrying a nice load of product?
How do they always stop a car or truck that is speeding down the highway with it's occupants being high on weed?
(Have you ever driven on weed? Chances are, you're NOT speeding. Chances are, you're driving too slow.)
Sometimes these cops are on the inside of drug rings and let their fellow officers know when a shipment is being made.
But I heard that some officers make deals with drug dealers (Usually one or two shipments out of ten, or so.) to sacrifice some product to ensure the safety of the majority of deliveries.
The dealer gets to punish an insolent employee - and the cop gets his name in the paper.
When the cops get greedy (Wanting to take more than half of the product - Some to turn over as evidence and some to use as they will.), the dealers often retaliate by killing the wayward cop.
A criminal is a problem, but a dirty cop has a licence to do whatever they'd like (Or so they think.).
A dirty cop is worse than is a criminal.

Contrary to what many racists may think, this problem is not endemic to one's race.
(Are Mexican drug dealers only killing white, Black or Asian cops?)
Just Google "Cop Killer" and click the "Images" button at the top of your screen.
Judging by the available photos - some from all races seem to have problems with some police officers..
I'm not saying that the officers recently killed in Washington were dirty - only that their past dealing may shine more light on the motivation behind their killings.
