Pretty sure DionPet is just an instigating little troll. What other reason would he have to post this topic? It doesn't talk about a recent case or even give any kind of opinion, it is just a very generic and vague description of what the media has been covering for almost two years now. Notice he has only posted one reply in this entire thread. I think he is just trying to get people riled up. There have been plenty of threads and discussions about this topic in the past on this forum, can't think of any other reason why someone would make a random post about it now other than to stir shit up.

I'd like to interject here a moment. I've seen accounts of local police forces that vary from corrupt to assholeish to downright pleasant. I was confused by this for a while, until I came to the conclusion that it all depends where you are. To give an example, I've read that Orange County's sheriff department is pretty corrupt and unpleasant, but I've heard nothing but good about many state agencies and smaller-town departments. I don't know if there's any further depth besides "some departments are good and some aren't," or if it depends on size and location, but I figure what department you're dealing with plays a huge factor. People seem to act like America has one big police force with the same personnel and attitudes, but we have thousands.

This interests me. What have you heard about OCSD? It's a pretty darn popular agency in the region to get picked up by. With the old sheriff there was a huge scandal, but I'm not sure I'd call it an unpleasant place to work. Once you put in x years doing regular patrol for a regular dept, you kinda wish you went OCSD. I might actually say the more time you spend doing just patrol, you'd probably be more irritated. But at the end of the day, it's the dept leadership that matters most.

I read that they'd been involved in a lot of corruption and in general you don't want them in your driveway. I'll try and dig up more information later.
