@RickiTarr And you know who I blame for that? The police unions. They're the ones who won't let bad cops get fired.
And so they stay on the force, with no accountability, no consequences, and gravitate towards other people who have no business being cops.
And when they realize they can do whatever they want to whomever they want, they *do it*. If bad cops could simply be fired, things would be a million times better. Those people would still be asshole abusers, but they wouldn't have power.
