re: AL cop admits to lying to protect officer who viciously beat a handcuffed man

I had a friend who was a Jefferson Parish cop that bragged to me about how they knew the spots in lockup that weren't monitored by cameras so they'd jab nightsticks into unsuspecting detainees, punch them, etc.

I really never looked at cops the same way again after that. He's the typical "I served in Operation Freedom hoo-rah" a-hole who still wears Oakleys and never gave a moment's thought to college. To his credit, I don't think he's ever sported a goattee (surprisingly).

Cops are just the worst.
