Police are professionals and should be held to a much higher standard of conduct than criminals.

Most cops are guys looking for a pension just want to do their 20 years and get out. They have an "ill get you before you get me mentality." There needs to be stricter requirements and harsher enforcement for cops. If it weeds out many of them maybe they weren't meant to be cops.
