Followed your links, WG. Followed some follow-up tangents from some of those. Becoming rather alarmed.
My friend in the Fort Worth PD is a very cynical guy and comes off as being amused at corruption when he hears of it. Even says his fellow cops are "terrible people, personally" and includes himself in that number. But I think it's a front. A face he puts on. I've known him a long time, and I think he's secretly "one of the good ones", though he'd be loath to admit it.
I'm interested in his take on things in some of these links. At worst, he'll have some entertainingly horrifying anecdotes to pass along(entertaining only because of the way he tells them). He's utterly contemptuous already of the people in SWAT. And his stories about their level of mentality jibe with what your links show.
