3 ways to ensure that rogue cops aren't above the law

The immunity thing is good.

But until that is accomplished in Congress, with all loopholes closed, I'd like to see every cop who indisputably commits a crime is charged. By indisputably, I mean on camera - body cams or public cams or phone cams.

One of the most important developments would be a national database of cops fired for brutality, even if they are not charged or convicted. This would be along the lines of a sexual predator registry. If you're fired for cause, you go on the database. And whoever hires you - committee, mayor, police board of some kind, police chief - is automatically charged with a crime, or fined, or something. There is so much more to be incorporated into this process, but you get the idea.

And so much more.
