I understand that you're supposed to protect a fellow officer, but when injustice is happening, it's on them to speak up as well.

As far as police go, if officers are really that scared or timid [on the streets], maybe they shouldn't be police officers. Their job is to protect and serve and they're supposed to be the bravest of the brave.

Some people don't want to rock the boat and risk being cut. They don't want to be seen as a nuisance. They say, "If I'm cut, I won't be able to make a change at all."
