It is a sign of corruption. A violation of the their oath and the Constitution. I had a cop tell me she was a member of the largest gang in the country. Mess with any of us and you have messed with all of us. She used the term "Professional Courtesy” all of the time.

This is not an isolated situation. We need to fix policing in America.
Police do not understand that they are not our masters. Unless we break a law they have no authority over us.
