Once that happens it becomes much easier to doubt anything police do. Don't get me wrong. There are lots of good police. It's the bad ones who cause whole departments to be corrupt. I think sometimes the problem with jurors is they not only believe that most police can do no wrong but that they want to believe it even if they know it isn't true.............
I have seen the same situation with the Waukegan School District. They lied under oath, board meetings etc., etc. Leadership has corrupted the administration, board attorney and board. And most importantly, some citizens on this board want to believe that the administration, board attorney and board can do no wrong, even when they know they are corrupt.
All you can do it hope that through this forum and other methods people will start questioning elected representatives and their appointees.
