IMHO, a lawyer shouldn't be saying that sort of thing. It doesn't exactly cast our system of justice in a good light.

That's the truth, though. A lot of cops (not a majority, but a fair number) are f**king careerist pigs who'll lie to get convictions on petty (or not so petty) offenses. Why should an attorney whose vocation is to defend people from being reamed by the injustice system, cast the same system in a good light? Give me a Clarence Darrow or Bill Kunstler over a bootlicker any day.
