Agreed. I hate to sound like a dick, but I have a feeling the officers unions are a big part of the problem. From what I’ve seen it’s a situation similar to the UAW, the unions make it very difficult for problem officers to be removed from the force. Not hating on law enforcement, just seems like that “union” mentality can breed a lot of problems.
