PS: Serpico was a hero. Going against the PD Blue Wall took incredible courage. It is unfortunate his level of integrity was, and is, IMO, an anomaly in that profession.
Perhaps someday cops will earn the respect of the public.
Wrong. Huckleberry, I view people who could have made the same incomes in easier ways given their background but who chose the harder way as it helped people in awe. Hospice staff would definitely fit that bill, all could be doctors and nurses in far easier surroundings given their training, making the same pay.
Cops generally do not fit that bill. For their level of pre-employment education and training, many are being paid far in excess of what they could make elsewhere. Too many do it solely for that reason.

In the interview Frank Serpico states that 40 years later: "I still get hate mail from active and retired police officers."
Simply for exposing the corruption of his police department.
If you think that just being a cop, or anything else, makes someone a hero then you need to look up the definition of the word! Now if by hero you mean people that murder innocent unarmed Americans and non-threatening pets, then by all means they rank at the top!
Law Enforcement isn't even among the top ten most dangerous jobs/occupations.
The most dangerous jobs are in fishing and farming.
we love to worship in this country ,just look at all the celebrities we put on a pedestal . police are public servants, employees of the tax payers nothing more and nothing less. praise them when they do something good criticize then when they do something bad.yes most are good but that doesnt excuse the bad and corrupt ones.
