Wow: 6 San Francisco police officers indicted:

At a Hall of Justice news conference, a visibly shaken Police Chief Greg Suhr said, "I don't know that it gets any worse than this, other than an officer-involved serious injury or death, when the public trust is betrayed by a sitting San Francisco or any police officer.

Wonder how deep thils'll go...

Given the tales J.T. has told here (and some others I've heard), I'd love it if a statistician could look at that: It seems likely that all cops have been accused of wrongdoing, and I wonder how many of the "looking back, we can see..." reactions I've had are as easily explained by the first reaction of anyone arrested is to fight back dirty...
