Simply because some cops can be brigands doesn't really mean that we shouldn't have expectations of people.

Bullies are always going to bully. Roll-over-and-take-it is a terrible corporate strategy!

Yeah, I have expectations... of the police. In most large cities, this is a guaranteed six figure income, with basically no education requirements. They are literally given an "above the law" status via qualified immunity. If they intimidate someone into doing something illegal, like giving up patient information, they should be culpable. Do not punish the weakest person in the power struggle, they are nearly always the victim.
