Corrupt Official

A corrupt official is a police officer, government agent, politician, lawyer, judge, corporate executive, church official, or school staff member who abuses their own powers frequently. They can also sometimes be a prominent student who thinks being either an athlete, wealthy, popular, or possibly even all three gives them a right to act like a complete asshole. Many corrupt corporate executives are capitalist pigs while many corrupt church officials are religious fundamentalists. During the civil rights era and before, many corrupt cops as well as FBI and CIA agents were members of the Ku Klux Klan. Most (though not all as there’s always exceptions to every rule) corrupt officials are white, male, middle or upper class, and conservative. Corrupt officials give other officials a bad name and often hurt their reputation.
