Now we often hear from police advocates that in reality, the problem is just a few bad apples who give the entire police force a bad name.

And to be honest, this is what I believe my entire adult life.

When I was growing up, I went through a phase of a few years where I thought I wanted to become a cop.

I think it's admirable that they put their lives on the line to protect us, to keep our society safe.

And to those committed to integrity and accountability, I still do admire them.

But the few bad apples narrative I've begun to believe is flawed.

What happens when the roots of an apple tree becomes so poisoned that the fruit the tree

is destined to bear is just as rotten. I think everyone has a bit of a fascination with the dark side.

I myself always love the dark side as well.

I think it's something that everyone secretly longs or wants.

There a fucker.

See what happened?

Charles Langley enjoyed the beaches of the Philippines with his wife.

and I don't look forward to the day when my own parents die, which will eventually come.
