Saying we shouldn't complain about police corruption because other places are more corrupt is invalid. You may as well say that we shouldn't go after people who steal a few hundred bucks from a convenience store when there are other people who steal millions.

There's no rule that says that we have to be only quantitatively better than third world countries. I say we can be qualitatively better as well.

It's understandable that cops tend to take shortcuts and abuse their power. It makes their job easier. And while I respect cops and am glad that there are people that want to do that job, their job isn't SUPPOSED to be easy. It's harder to do a cop's job while respecting the rights of others, but that's tough luck, those are the rules that we operate under.
