Are all police crooked cops?

I know of several incidents that would make me want to say yes but I am sure there are a few good ones out there SOMEWHERE....
There was this sherriff in TN, that took over a Sonic resturaunt with a prescription drug operation. He parked there daily as he sold (70 plus per sale)prescription drugs out of his squad car. He was arrested but suspended with pay. Is that fair?
In another incident 2 of my girlfriends were driving through a small town in Missouri. There was this sergent that pulled them over. The girl driving had no driver's license, no insurance but the rental car was in her name. The sergent was beating around the bush with the ticket or whatever decision he was going to make. He quickly came to the conclusion that if they flashed him he would let them pull off... the passenger girl was like girl I can't go to jail but the driver was like take me to jail. The passenger began to raise her top when another squad car pulled up. The sergent then proceeded to tell them to pull off and have a nice day. Do you think this was fair? He is probably still doing the same thing to this date.... being crooked!
In this last incident, my cousin has his own business. He loves his Q45 and therefore he put music in the car and rims on the car as well. He was leaving the mall one day when a copped pulled him over. He had over $3,000 cash in his pocket. The cop instantly had him to get out of the car and put his contents from his pocket onto the hood of the squad car. There it goes, a wad of cash. The police then tried to tear the car up looking for drugs but couldn't find any. Finally he came to the conclusion that he was going to let my cousin go but not the contents from his pocket. He took the money and did not give my cousin a ticket bc he had no proper cause. All the while my cousin was studying his badge number. When my cousin did get away without his money he reported the officer. The force started investigating him and his partners. There were 16 of them in the operation together. They found them guilty as charged once they caught them in the sting, fired them and they went to jail.
I can go on with other incidents, but I wont bore you... police are not all GOOD cops!

My dad and I were both officers, and I have to say that there are definitely some crooked cops out there who abuse their authority. Unfortunately, the bad ones are the ones by which the rest of us were judged. For the most part, though, I think cops are honest people who are judged by the bad actions of a few
