>There are bad apples People say this about the police frequently, but seemingly just as frequently forget the tail end of the saying! This confuses me because it is used in defense of the police.

We should be very concerned about the "bad apples", due to the strength of police unions, friendships with DA's, the "Thin Blue Line" etc.
