The code of silence among police officers discussed in Joseph
McNamara's Sept. 21 commentary shows the extent to which crimes are
committed by cops. The idea that only few cops are criminals is only
half the story.

Those cops who do not expose any criminal acts by other cops are also
accomplices to the crimes.

With the code of silence, no wonder it is difficult to trust the
police force.
