On the matter of bad cops in the force, Prime Minister Harris said these corrupt cops must be weeded out. “Some of them are vulnerable, if you have information on any of them, because if there are bad cops in the force, the police and defense, if they are bad agents they are contributing, none is above the law,” said Prime Minister Harris.
