Metro cops in the news for all the wrong reasons
Metro cops have been getting a lot of bad publicity lately, but is it justified?
We've all seen those videos; metro cops filmed doing things they "shouldn't be doing" and sometimes Facebook stories about metro cops soliciting bribes from motorists.
We are asking ourselves, are civilians justified to have their phones and dash cams ready when they get pulled over by cops to hit the record button? Should motorists be afraid of cops the way they say they are?
Here are the latest incidents that have been reported in the media.
