2. There number one rule now is do whatever it takes to make it home at the end of the shift.

If that means shoot first and ask questions later then so be it. They can do this because the system is set up to protect THEM! The local DA needs the trust of the police department to function so they will not charge them or indict them. All cops, usually including upper management support them no matter the facts. If a cop doesn't then he/she is persecuted, threatened, and cannot get a job as a cop anywhere else.

The best start to changing this would be to have a Special Prosecutors office to handle police misconduct investigations and prosecutions. They need to bust any cop or supervisory personnel that covers for the one that broke the law. Once they are no longer above the law their behaviors will change.

Same could be said for Wall Street. Once we have Publicly Funded Elections and Representative Democracy again, Wall Street, MIC, oil companies... will no longer have influence or be above the law.
