Police have a duty to act when a crime is occurring. They cannot ignore it. Even if the perpetrator is a fellow police officer. Yet, rarely, if ever, are police officers punished for failure to act when the person committing the crime is a fellow officer.
Lawyers have a duty to report violations of the lawyers rules of professional conduct. Yet, rarely, if ever, are lawyers punished for failure to report when the person committing the violation is a fellow attorney. Indeed, as far as I can tell, no lawyer in Minnesota has ever been punished for failure to report a violation of the lawyers rules of professional conduct.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCqKjBCvbzNQHu8RdFu263-gYUZ4Tg1tWtV05jf8XMjGVGaIfbOjBZcwfc5JK-ZjOxXykE1XiiCiDrnTl2HkJniOTWT7xdoa7g5QJHypWIMqM-AyRdod5nPx2bi9-AeFzZN6V1PdzQVwQ/w149-h200/police-lawyer-corruption.jpg)
If cops and lawyers are above the law and their own rules, is it any wonder why we have bad cops and lawyers?
