Everything bad that you can say about certain Cops, you can say the same bad things about certain athletes...
Yes, police have authority....But, they are ultimately held accountable in courts (civil and criminal), over their careers....
Plenty of athletes, have issues abusing women/girls, assaulting people, stealing and sometimes we blame the police when those athletes get held accountable....
But, many times they get arrested for one incident and they've gotten away with 10 the months before....
