Let me tell you how the police works. And don't pretend that you know yet, man, please, have at least a bit of respect for the veteran's experience. The way the police works is that you protect each other, you don't let people fuck with you and yours. If you don't make certain that nobody fucks with you or don't back up your buddies, you have no respect and are pretty much worthless. Also, and this is very important, you never, NEVER, report your partner's misconduct. Do that, and nobody, even the good honest guys, will want to work with you, because you're not to be trusted.
Do you know who else works like that? Gangs.
I just watched Serpico last night. Not that I believe, like Schme, that all departments are corrupt, the movie is a stinging indictment, at least against the NYPD as it was in the 60's and 70's.
