Which term describes officers who actively pursue corrupt activities for significant gains?

• A. Meat Eaters
• B. Grass Eaters
• C. White Knight
• D. Straight Shooters

Answer: (A)

Meat eaters are officers who actively pursue corrupt activities for significant gains, using their official power to solicit bribes, kickbacks, or other lucrative schemes. This is a deliberate, proactive form of wrongdoing—the officer seeks out opportunities and treats corruption as a route to substantial personal benefit. That’s why this term best fits the description. By contrast, grass eaters merely tolerate or opportunistically benefit from corruption when it happens, without actively seeking it. White knight describes someone who fights corruption or exposes it, and straight shooters are those who consistently act ethically and within the law; neither of these describes actively pursuing corruption for large gains.
