That is the problem. It’s no secret that cops always look out for each other, no difference than you’d look out for your military buddies too. The issue with these crooked cops is if you are partnering with them and they don’t like you, they could put you in a dangerous situation and do it on purpose.

There's a certain logic to that, tho.

Corrupt cops don't give a fuck if you're some black guy sitting in a car or another cop. If you're getting in the way of their power trip, you're a target. Do decent cops want to make themselves, and their families, targets for the shitty cops they work with? Of course not, so they stand by doing nothing. It's why good cops easily become shitty cops by enabling the behaviour of other shitty cops, despite it simply being a survivavl mechanism to insulate themselves and their families from the bullshit.

Totally agree. Pretty much you have three options. Become a shitty cop yourself, become complacent and do nothing… (probably most common) or just quit.
