What about all the good cops?

“Across U.S., police officers abuse confidenti­al databases,” Sept. 29 news story.

I am disturbed by the constant barrage of attacks on law enforcemen­t. The Associated Press article about police abuse of databases is an example. Once again it is a small fraction of law enforcemen­t who are violating the trust of their department­s and the public, but the article makes it sound like an epidemic. When caught, these individual­s are charged and often lose their jobs. The only solution implied by the article would be to take away law enforcemen­t access to these databases, which would be a travesty and serve no one.

How about publishing some positive articles about the more than 90 percent of hard-working, loyal, trustworth­y and dedicated officers we have across the country?
