communities you know about crooked cops mainly when it's too late. As far as if they are bad they will be taken care of the country is full of examples off cops that went on with their crooked and often violent behavior for years and years and some now get caught and punished because of cell phone video and dash cams but it is ludicrous to say bad cops always get caught out. Flip off the body cam and do what they want if nobody has a cell recording going.

Teachers that are horrible aren't likely to be a risk to taking my freedom or my life. Yes doctors and nurses who habitually make horrible mistakes that cause death and harm to patients should be made apparent to prospective patients. You apparently are fortunate enough to have never been screwed over by a dishonest cop, beaten by a cop out of control or had a doctor nearly take your life because of incompetence. Good for you. Not so good for millions of others.

I can speak from personal experience about a surgeon with a bad drinking problem, known to his associates and medical staff, who nearly killed me as a child. Do you think my parents would have liked to know that he was a drunk so that they could choose someone else? But in your world nobody should know and it is "patient or citizen beware you are on your own and the bad behavior of the professionals is to be kept from you at all costs because people don't want to be held to standards and accountability inn hiring and practice".
