- goldcd 5y agoSome good links to some infuriating stories. Maybe what both sides could unite around is an organization that will back up these officers? ~ "The Good Apple Officer Organization" At the most basic level, could cover the pensions of whistle-blowers - and I'd guess for every story we hear now, would get a dozen more out there. I genuninely believe most people who join law enforcement want to make the world a better place. Question is simply how can we help them do this?
