Ethical Question?
Ethical forces behind police corruption, are they the same as those involved in police abuses of force? I’m not sure what this question is asking, and I don’t know how to answer it. Please help!

The question is asking if the ethical motivations for cops being twisted are the same ones as cops abusing their power. So, roughly, is a cop’s motivation the same when he takes a bribe as when he beats a black man to a pulp with his buddies in LA.
I would say, not necessarily, as it’s impossible to know why a police officer would abuse their power. Perhaps they don’t realize they are abusing it, perhaps they know they are but don’t care. Maybe they are racist, maybe they are conformists since their buddies do it. Taking bribes on the other hand is always for personal gain, and in some cases, done not to stick out (everyone else is on the take, so you can’t be trusted if you are the exception).
Good luck.
