I learned that— while relatively rare— there are bad cops, poorly-trained cops, power hungry cops and careless cops. I even covered a case in Florida where an auxiliary police officer turned out to be a serial killer. He would shoot out the tires of women’s cars as they traveled  on desolate Florida roads at night, do unspeakable things to them, cut their bodies into pieces and bury them in 55 gallon drums in the orange groves of Indian River County. I spent many days reporting from those groves as police dug up remains.

    There are good cops.
    There are bad cops.
    Unfortunately no one has the power to look into another's heart and mind and see what darkness may lie there.
