For posting that and for saying what you said. Henry was an awesome person, as well as an awesome cop. His loss is going to be felt for a long time in the law enforcement community. As for the good cop/bad cop thing...well there are some bad cops...but I can guarantee there are more good cops where I work than bad. Seems people focus on the bad rather than the good and so the bad ones stand out. Thanks again for posting this. Thank you. For posting that and for saying what you said.

When he was killed in the line of duty by a deranged man, a lot of Las Vegans felt the pain. Yes, there are bad cops. But nobody hardly ever hears about the deeds and efforts from the majority of good cops who are true to their badge and their sworn duties to protect and serve. That needs to change.

The only reason it looks like there are more bad people is because cops are a smaller fraction than the entire populice at large.
