That can be corrected by new laws, wherein a cop is required to report another cop who violates procedure MINNEAPOLIS) — Negotiators for the city of Minneapolis have agreed with the state to ban the use of chokeholds by police and to require police to report and intervene anytime they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer. The moves are part of a stipulation between the city and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, which launched a civil rights investigation this week in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody. The City Council is expected to approve the agreement Friday. The agreement, which will be enforceable in court, would require any officer, regardless of tenure or rank, to immediately report the use of any neck restraint or choke hold from the scene to their commander or their commander’s superiors. Similarly, any officer who sees another officer commit any unauthorized use of force, including any choke hold or neck restraint, must try to intervene verbally and even physically. If they don’t, they’d be subject to discipline as severe as if they themselves had used the prohibited force. [link to time.com (secure)] |

Case after case is ruled in favor of bad cops. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78692485 The reason why is that law enforcement officers have no legal duty to protect the public per SCOTUS rulings. Then to top it off, The U.S. Supreme Court first introduced the qualified immunity doctrine in 1967. “Neither the Constitution, nor state law, impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm — even when they know the harm will occur,” said Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law. “Police can watch someone attack you, refuse to intervene and not violate the Constitution.” The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has only a duty to protect persons who are “in custody,” he pointed out. less than 50 percent Source - [link to www.nytimes.com (secure)] |

It is the job of a union to protect the job of the worst worker as much as the best one.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 77963234 United States 06/06/2020 12:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More from the linked article (obviously some things need to change) "Those bad officers are extremely difficult to fire, and that’s almost entirely due to police unions. Unions have set up drawn-out arbitration processes that often reinstate officers who are fired for obvious breaches of conduct. Police around the country are also protected by Law Enforcement Officers’ Bills of Rights (LEOBR), usually passed with the backing of unions, that offer accused officers protections that far exceed what normal citizens are offered. Whereas police can drag you into custody and ask you questions without telling you about the investigation or the charges being considered, LEBORs allow officers to have “cooling off periods” of anywhere from two to 10 days after an incident such as a shooting. During that time, an officer can concoct a story that justifies their actions. Of course, most officers don’t willfully lie, but for the truly bad apples, the ones who consistently physically assault, batter, verbally abuse, and otherwise exceed their authority, would it be surprising that they’d be willing to lie about what happened?"

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78998154 If they were in the minority, they would be weeded out, but they are not. The "good" cops doing nothing about the bad cops have chosen a side, and its not yours. Something like 80% of cops said they have seen officer misconduct & not reported it. Misdemeanor exonerations are rare, but the 2nd most common reason is that cops assaulted them, & lied & forced an innocent defendent to plead guilty to assaulting the officer-these cases only come to light when the officer's behavior is so egregious he gets in trouble for something else & past behavior comes to light.
