need to bust the union, and somehow incentivise turning in dirty cops instead of making doing the right thing out to be the worst possible thing a cop can do. I never understood the thin blue line between good and evil protecting the evil side out of "brotherhood". National protocols with regional cutouts like EMS would help too. I know a couple people who were innocent that have done prison time because of dirty cops. One took a plea because of overcharging (white daughter didnt want daddy to know shed been diddling the non caucasion). SA/DAs knowing cops fabricated evidence to get the guy "off the streets" cause if he didnt do this particular crime, he did something burns me up. Look what happens when these guys finally get caught, thousands of cases have to be reviewed, and sometimes guilty folks have to be released.
