I was referring to other organisations that cover up crimes within their own ranks because they're in their own ranks. Several churches, the police, and the MOD, to name just three. Where you have sworn loyalty you'll have those that will take it literally. I'll agree that you need the evidence but there are a lot on here that won't let the truth ruin a good story! Personally I don't think any one would risk themselves covering something up simply because others were in the same organisation. You would cover something up because you yourself were implicated or because you shared the same standards, or lack of as the accused. Or like the Catholic Church, who covered things up to protect the institution rather that to protect individuals. I don't believe an oath would really make people cover things up.

You and I don't look at it that way agreed and while I do believe we're in the majority there are well-documented cases of retaliation against whistleblowers that go through all levels of society. That retaliation seems to go stronger in organisations that have those oaths to the point where they've had to pass laws. LAPD is notorious for closing ranks and protecting bad eggs and have had some high profile scandals where officers won't speak up for common decency for fear of reprisals/ostracization.

leegreen 2,100 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I do a couple of charity events for the Mason's, they are fishing events for disadvantaged children. A nice day for the kids, but there's a lot of ego massaging going on "for charity mate" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
