Police investigating police : Comments

By Nigel Powell, published 8/6/2010

The barrier to proper investigation of police misconduct seems to revolve around a misguided sense of loyalty to fellow officers.

Good evening to you Aka...

Sadly, I believe you're correct. Personally, I don't think the community will ever (fully) trust police. Why, I don't really know ?

I've tried to adopt the role as the 'Devil's Advocate'. Asking, why aren't we trusted ? I reckon we don't even trust each other ?
They say you should wear your body armour backwards ? Why, to protect your back, from both your peers and your superiors.

People say policing is a very stressful occupation ? Many police marriages end in divorce. If not, then many disfunctional families result, at the very least. This stress doesn't occur from ugly confrontations with crooks, no ! It comes from the many knives hanging out of your back, having been carefully planted therein, by your so called mates and colleagues at work ? You can believe that, Aka, absolutely.

If we can't even trust each other, how then, can we expect the public to trust us ? Beats me ?

Sung wu.
