Oregon State Police tried to conceal this controversial SWAT recruitment email when The Oregonian/OregonLive requested it. Now state police are distancing themselves from it.
The saying “one bad apple spoils the whole barrel” rings true. Even if bad cops were only the minority, the overwhelming majority of cops tolerate the bad ones, rather than working to get rid of them, spoiling the whole “barrel”. Look at the Chris Dorner situation. His downward spiral resulted from retribution resulting from his filing of a report alleging excessive force by another cop. He was then targeted for retaliation, which ultimately broke him. The system is rotten to the core.
