Interesting that one point DPD did not even want to release the number of active officers:

Excerpt from the story: "According to data provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by the Detroit Police Department, the force had 2.760 sworn officers and 327 civilian employees in 2011."

Let's do the math with the estimate from 2011.

Let's just say it's 3000. That's 3 dirty cops. 2000? 2 dirty cops. 1000? 1 dirty cop.

So are you sitting there with a straight face and trying to tell me that in the city of Detroit, there are less than 3 dirty cops?!?

Hey, you can be a cheerleader for DPD and DFD all you want. They do dangerous work. I have friends and family members in both departments, and I am prior military, so I get it. But please don't whitewash the bad apples by continuing on with this 99.9% number when it's not true.
