Submitted the first page instead because there's a video showing an off-duty Chicago cop beating up a female bartender. Just shows you how surveillance cameras can be used to ensure police misdeeds are documented and used against them. - bossm4n, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5Just finished watching the entire program on 20/20. They did an excellent and objective job looking into this situation. I'm usually the first to defend the police, but there is no excuse for the blatant and flagrant abuse of the law that so many officers get away with on a regular basis. The one that really pissed me off was the sergeant who was driving drunk and pulled over. When they found out he was a fellow cop, there was this huge pow wow to discuss whether or not to arrest him or let him go. They had the entire thing on dashcam. They eventually let him go. The cop who let him go feared for his job if he would have arrested a fellow cop. That is disgusting. He knew what he was morally obligated to do, but could not do it.

- thechr0nic, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1nice to see some very limited number of police actually getting justice for breaking the law. I would be much happier if every single one of them who abused their position received justice.
While the cops depicted in these video's in my opinion, no longer deserve to be employed, if not outright sent to jail, I believe that they are just one of the 'few bad apples'
I firmly believe that those in a position of trust and authority should be held to a higher standard. If that standard is violated there should be real and effective penalties to dissuade others in that same position from committing the same mistakes.
