We need to eliminate the entire police system in this country and reconstruct from scratch.

152. No, we need to PENALIZE OFFENDERS in the police departments

The core of the problem is that individual officers are above the law, and their precincts and departments are afforded no responsibility.

First offense of brutalization, the officer is on the streets. Bam, find a new line of work, skinhead. No internal investigation, no deliberation, the DA simply puts the guy out on his ass. Third offense in one precinct, leadership is disbanded and replaced by interim leaders. If more than 50% of a city's police precincts are compromised, the feds move in.

This is how it works in nursing homes, more or less. if a nurse is seen abusing a resident, there are no questions of why, or if it was "justified." That nurse is out on their ass, and the union will not stand by them (provided there's evidence of the abuse.) A nursing home that has chronic abuse issues gets shut down by the state and the residents moved to safer homes.

This is on top of criminal charges for property damage, loss of life and limb, harassment, and theft.

No man is above the law. Doesn't matter how little neck they have or now close they shave their scalp, Officer Scrofa needs to realize he can be thrown in prison just as easily as he can throw someone else in there.
