Politicians reflect the worst side of human nature: The reason why I say this is because it seems like the worst people rise to power. For example: Law enforcement. There are good cops, but there are also too many dirty cops. It's the dirty cops that get promotions & raises while the stand-up officers who do right are under the authority of the abusive higher-ups. If a good cop exposes his crooked colleagues, the good cop can lose his pension, retirement & his job because he gets no support from his superiors. It's not fair to be punished for doing the right thing, but that's what happens when you live in a fallen world. I don't care how many policies against retaliation a company has, who's to say the offenders will be held accountable? Chances are, they won't because most times, the offender knows some higher-ups that can get him/her off. It's the same with police misconduct cases involving law enforcement & blacks. Police & prosecutors work closely together so there's a high probability an officer will get away with misconduct.
Don't get me started on politicians: Apparently, you have to be willing to backstab in order to rise to power. Honest politicians won't get very far because they refuse to play political games to get ahead.
