Policeman are prone from corruption because they have the environment to corrupt and they have the power and opportunity to corrupt, but not all policeman are corrupt. In the first place we have no evidence that shows that all the policemen are corrupt, so how we can answer if we ask our self this question;How did we know that they are corrupt????? of course our answer is that we know it because we hear it...then we are judging all the policeman to be corrupt only because of what we hear that they are corrupt...but we must have to remember that not all e hear is true.

Hello Damali,
You make it sound as if they werent corrupt before hehe. I remember growing up in a small town here in Canada and hearing about bad cops all the time. So things havent changed. We still hear about bad cops. Where I live now, our chief of police was accused of having swindled some city money. Needless to say, he's not our chief of police for the moment until he's actually found guilty in court. Ive known this man for a long time, ever since we moved here. I dont know if what they say is true or not, I do know he sure was a wild one though. So yes, there are some very bad cops out there but there are also some really good ones. I once left my house and because I didnt close the front door properly, when I opened the garage door, the front door opened by itself. It was in the middle of winter. My neighbor across the street came over thinking that something might have happened to me as I never leave my front door wide open, especially not in the winter. He didnt get any answer so didnt dare come in. He dialed 911. This nice cop came over, went all over the house, room to room and he didnt find anything unusual so he left his card on my kitchen counter. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was all the lights turned on. Then I found the police card. I called and he explained what had happened. I thanked him for having gone all over the house to make sure nothing had happened to me. I also thanked my neighbor.
So you see, there are still good cops out there......nothing was missing in the house even though I had money lying around.
