Many people don't know what goes on in the police enviornment until it is broadcasted on television or made into a public situation. I believe that this method is not useful because we are a country that needs to keep our citizens informed about what's going on in "THEIR" country. After all we do play major roles in our citites such as voting, running businesses, etc. One officer named Kenneth Eurell felt the exact way I'm feeling now and decided to talk about police cruelty. This incidents happened about 7 years ago and he was a part to the cruelty. We all know drug trafficking is a major part of our society today. Well back then it was even bigger and Mr. Eurell was a major part of the corruption. Mr. Eurell and a few other officers would pretend to be venture capitalists and put their money together to buy cocaine from Brooklyn drug dealers and resell it in Suffolk County. They would also protect drug traffickers for a weekly payoff of $10,000 a week. Eventually the officers were caught and indicted. This just goes to show how cruel officers are. Even though they are getting a regular, sometimes well paying salary they want to be greedy and try to take more than they can handle and they end up in jail wishing they never commited these acts.
