Eight Months Pregnant and Arrested After False Facial Recognition Match

36. Two things:

When police unions are weakened.
When qualified immunity is defeated.

Personally, I think instead of "training" police (heh, klansmen know how to game the system) for proper behavior, all police and cadets should have to pass psychological testing, where objectively measurable autonomic responses like blood pressure, skin conductivity, heart rate, arousal, whatever, are recorded in response to scenes of violence and abuse. Add in a racial bias component. I think there's plenty of research available on the subject.

The ones who get off on these triggers don't go on the street, make arrest decisions, train, or supervise. Preferably fired, but there might be legal obstacles. In that case, put them someplace as harmless as possible. Also, the test results should follow them if they apply to other departments or private security.

This alone will filter a lot of "bad apples" out -- the ones eager to beat and abuse citizens.
