Cops: the Need for dialogue

Ponce - Un policía estatal adscrito al Precinto de Caimito está detenido en una celda del cuartel de Peñuelas por supuestamente intentar robarle dos autos a un compañero de trabajo, informó la Comandancia de Área de Ponce.ENDi.com

A week ago we hear of a cop that committed suicide, a few weeks before that we heard of another cop killing himself. A few weeks ago we heard of a raid in which nearly a dozen cops were arrestad and a few months ago we heard of a cop being arrested for dealing drugs. About a year ago we heard of the migration of cops to Baltimore and Orlando for better paty. What is it with the cops? Why are the dealing drugs, robbing, leaving, killing themselves? I wouldnt be surprised to hear that a main reason for these problems is the poor pay cops receive. In any event. In any event, its about time we boricuas attended this issue. We need to create a dialogue both in the public and private sectors. The cop are our protectors. If they go, society goes with them.
