Thin blue line

[supergee]

There are cops who are known to be excessive and violent, sometimes costing the city millions in brutality lawsuits, but the police culture protects them. Not all of them are the mayor’s brother.

The Atlantic again ... totally missing what for many cops is the most important point: if you rat out a brother, you likely won't get back-up when you need it. That's the whole thing about the "thin blue line". In their minds, it's their lives, not their livelihoods.

More cameras, and more disciplinary policies with teeth. Not out-of-touch reporters with scummy magazines calling them cowards.

How loyal are they, if they'd punish one of their own for reporting a bad cop? A bad cop is bad for the good cops too.
