Police culture from the inside.

"On any given day, in any police department in the nation, 15 percent of the officers will do the right thing no matter what is happening. 15 percent will abuse their authority at every opportunity. The remaining 70 percent could go either way depending on who they are working with."
From K. L. Williams, someone who has trained thousands of police personnel.

Article closing statement, "We need police officers. We also need them to be held accountable to the communities they serve".
