My dad was a cop, three uncles, five cousins and two brothers. Most of the cops I know are decent people, but yes, there are some bad apples. I don't think our group is over represented in the bad guy category. As a matter of fact, I would imagine most cops tend to be hard working, honest and fair minded. We joined the force to try to make a difference and most do. I can honestly say, if I die today, I have left my mark and actually made a difference in my community. That's enough for me.
