Corrutpion at every level

So, you've probably heard about the cop (story here) who has been indefinitely suspended. What I can't believe is that there is no talk of corruption in this article. So a police officer gives someone a ticket, then essentially loses his job because the person happens to be the Mayor's son. How is it that the Mayor hasn't been fired? How is it that the police officer hasn't gotten his job back? I'm not a fan of cops, basically ever,  but at least he was just doing his job unlike the majority of politician(s) whom we have become used to screwing everyone over that they have no interest in. Basically that means the rest of us, the have-nots, and, believe it or not, the middle class. Shouldn't there be more of an uproar over the simple fact that those in power protect their own versus those that may actually need their help?
