Why are cops so corrupt?
<|assistant|>
Cops can be corrupt for a variety of reasons, but the biggest reason is that law enforcement agencies often lack proper oversight and accountability. Cops may be tempted to look the other way or take bribes in order to earn additional income, since their salaries are often meagre. In addition, police culture may promote a "blue code of silence" which discourages officers from reporting fellow officers that are engaged in criminal activities.
