Digg usually features a lot of bad cop incidents, but this week a good cop at a protest got a <a href="http://www.ratemycop.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=14322" rel="nofollow">very high rating</a> and <a href="http://digg.com/political_opinion/This_is_how_police_SHOULD_react_to_protesters" rel="nofollow">positive comments</a>.
