Two former NYPD detectives, accused of moonlighting as Mafia hit men, entered not guilty pleas this week. (TalkLeft background here.) The NY Daily News talks to Louis Eppolito Jr. about being the son of "the dirtiest cop ever."

"He has a son who walks around with his name, but I felt ignored, invisible," Louis Jr., 35, told the Daily News.

    If the facts were known about how many cops do this, you wouldn't be talking about saddam, you would be up-in-arms, and marching on washington to free it.

    My sympathy to the children of cops. I think they have it worse than most kids in the country on the whole. There are good cops who are also good fathers. My brother-in-law comes to mind, but on the whole, I think police work attracts a whole bunch of people who love the authority of the badge and authoritarians may not be the best parents. Sympathy to the spouses also. I think the evidence is clear that divorce, spouse beating is more common in the police families than the general population. More of the authoritarian personality fallout, imho.

    You know what they say about opinions, but thanks for sharing yours. Any links to use as a basis for your sweeping generalized opinions?
