Most men who become cops forget the real reason they became cops in the first place and are corrupt, unfair, biased, prejudiced, or dirty in some way and have comprimised the very thing they're supposed to stand for.
On the other hand, every now and then, I have met a cop who was more understanding, fair, and bendable on the more ludicris of laws and suprised me.
Let's hope there are more of the latter then the former.
As for them being cheaters, any occupation that lends itself to such power and independence is open to abusement. But anyone can cheat. The cop on his beat, who just pulled over an attractive woman, willing to give a ******** to stay out of a traffic ticket. The wife he left at home while on his 14hr shift, who shags his neighbor while he's not there. Anyone, anywhere is capable of cheating, no matter what your profession.

I totally believe that statement is false. My significant other is a police officer and he's proactive in his job and works to keep out city safe. He out to do what's best for the community and wouldn't think of doing wrong by anyone. I can't tell you how many stories he's come home and told me about that just break your heart about families, kids, or people, and the things he has to witness and deal with. And all for the fact that people can sleep safely at night. Of course there's going to be "bad apples" in every profession, but I think for the most part most cops are out there with every good intention.

false, most are honest men trying to make a living. some are a*soles willing to pullover anyone to get extra cash. some are truly corrupted, and yes some are cheaters, just as with all professions. examles:
mal-practice
tax fraudulent businesses
politicians
the list can go on for an hour

FALSE. I WAS ONE FOR MANY YEARS AS A PATROL OFFICER, DETECTIVE, AND TRAINING OFFICER. 95% OFFICERS BECOME ONE BECAUSE THEY ARE IDEALISTS. THEY REALLY BELIEVE THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IT REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POWER AND AUTHORITY. MOST ARE JUST YOUR ORDINARY GUYS AND GALS TRYING TO DO SOME GOOD JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. MARRY, RAISE A FAMILY, AND RETIRE WITH SOME FINANCIAL SECURITY WITH THEIR DIGNITY AND LIFE INTACT. MOST COPS DONT LIKE TO FIGHT, DRAW THEIR WEAPONS, OR EVEN FIRE THEM FOR THAT MATTER. TRUST ME. THERE IS NOTHING FINER THEN AN 8 HOUR TOUR OF DUTY THAT IS UNEVENTFUL, GOING HOME TO THE WIFE AND KIDS AND HAVING A BREWSKY IN FRONT OF THE TUBE BEFORE YOU HAVE TO HIT THE SACK, GET UP, AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THEN AGAIN, YOUR CHANCES OF NOT COMING HOME THAT NIGHT IN ONE PIECE ARE SUBSTANCIALLY BETTER THEN THE AVERAGE CITIZEN YOU ARE ASSIGNED TO PROTECT.
KINDA GIVES THE WIFE AND KIDS A LITTLE PAUSE AS YOU STRAP ON THAT GUN AND BADGE EVERY DAY. MOST OF THEM ARE LIKE YOU AND ME BUT WITH SUBSTANCIALLY MORE RESPONSIBILITY AND WHOLE LOT LESS MONEY.
THE 5% THAT ARE THE JERK-OFFS ARE USUALLY WEEDED OUT EVENTUALLY BY THE OTHER COPPERS BECAUSE THEY DONT LIKE TO PUT UP WITH THEM AND MAKE THE ENTIRE UNIT LOOK BAD. THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN THEIR COMMUNITY TOO.

Isn't Heroes a fictional show? I am thinking it is.
With that said -- in REAL life -- who knows -- I'm sure there are cheaters in all professions -- just like there are some that are not.

I have plenty of friends who are in law enforcement and they are great people , of course there are some bad apples in the bunch that make everyone look bad , but the majority of police officers are good people !!

I will say...FALSE.
This is a drama, a work of fiction. If it was reality, and I mean REAL reality, not the TV type, nobody would watch it. It is sensationalized fiction based loosely on fact. People are human and subject to failings.

The amount of officers that cheat on their wives is probably about the same as the general population.
