no way! sherlock, are you going to tell me that water exists next? holy you people watch too many movies. I don’t know if you live inner city in some crap us state, or some slum in some third world country but no fucking duh.
Even in the states, cops get reported all the time, the vast majority of times I hear of when cops do get reported and no real disciplinary action is performed, is almost always because it’s some crappy city where the police literally can’t find anyone to replace them. This is why things like transparency in the process are needed. But lets pretend for a second that most cops in the world are these corrupt maniacs that hollywood likes to make them out to be.
3 really bloody easy steps literally any crappy US state or really any state/country whatever in general could take right now would completely resolve this issue.
Make bodycam footage of incidents publicly accessible only redacting necessary footage by way of destructive blur and blur only. This will keep the privacy of folk in while still making sure that each and every officer can be held responsible for their actions.
Make a brief “internal investigation” status publicly available when one occurs, and make all information admissible in court. When you pair this with incident footage from publicly available bodycams. This both protects innocent officers by way of making it abundantly clear that a case is moot, but also prevents internal corruption by making it easy for effected parties to hold corrupt officials responsible via court.
increase funding for police in an open manor, all expenses should roughly detailed and publicly available, so they can accountably increase spending on things like de-escalation training, non lethal subjugation training whether this be grappling arts, tasers which aren’t completely useless, whatever it doesn’t matter. Just give them more options and better training.
But no. we can’t do this. Because guess what, politicians, democrats and republicans alike for US folk are all greedy assholes who benefit from division. Everyone want’s to scream defund the police, or treat the police as some overarching messiahs and either get rid of them wholly, or let them act with impunity. It wouldn’t even cost that much money to do the first two points which are the most important ones.
Some are yes, but the overall majority are not. A lot of this comes down to demographic location.
When they don’t self report the ones that are bad, they become bad.
How is that concept difficult for you?
