When you have someone in an organization that is corrupt or incompetent it usually only hurts that organization. When you have a cop that is corrupt or incompetent it has very dire potential. So, they need to be held to a higher standard than just about any other profession. Unfortunately, it seems like the opposite is true. The police organization protects cops, even the corrupt and incompetent ones, at almost all costs. Cops often get much lighter penalties than the average citizen for the same offense. The punishment received generally doesn't discourage bad behavior enough and makes the whole police organization seem untrustworthy. Cops being critical of other cops in private conversations is great but unless they and the organization they work for enforce rules at least to the same standard as for non-cops (never mind that they should be held to a higher standard) it means little.

A lot of fallacies and common misconceptions that I have already addressed.
