What do we do about these motherfucking cops in this country?

79. There already is a national commission

problem is many agencies dont belong to it...Mostly because the standards are "too lofty" or expensive for them to attain. It is pretty much a paper drill / policy implementation exercise and it has its values so long as the agency trains it, uses it and enforces it- that is where the problem is. The standard in my opinion is not really all that difficult. I worked some accreditation inspections in my agency and our policies far exceeded CALEA's.

They enforced the standard too which is why we dont see them all over national news for some crazy shit...sure we have had some clowns get through the process, but for the most part the agency has done a very good job. They are a mid-size (1000+ cops) agency so its not like a two cop town who has nothing but a cornfield to watch. Plenty of opportunity to make the news.

Another reason is because the agency not only abides by those standards, but has used them as a baseline and exceeded them so they aren't members either.

The only way to really enforce that kind of thing is to institute a federal police force. Of course we can see how they handle whistleblowers (Veterans Affairs) so probably wouldnt work.
