SVU

The episode I watched started with a person dying in jail. He had been raped with an object so roughly that his colon had been punctured and he died from internal bleeding. This was a controversal because Benson and Stabler found out that it was the arresting cops that inflicted this damage on the prisioner. When they started investigating this case, they found out that these two cops had killed a multitude of other perps. One was getting paid to kill off drug dealers and make it look like it was out of self defense. The other cop went along with it becuase he felt that he owed it to his partner. The last cop said that he would testify against his partner. This guilt proved to be too much and he hung himself while in jail waiting for his trial. This episode was controversal because it dealt with dirty cops. Although they were getting drug dealers "off the streets", they were killing people for their own agenda. We are supposed to trust cops to do the right thing and protect us, and these cops were killing people for money.
