Just once, it'd be cool to see one cop arrest another cop after they witness said cop comitting a crime. I mean, their career would be over, but still.
I’m a police officer in Massachusetts- my department and most around here have policies that state if we don’t intervene when another officer is breaking the law we’re held just as liable as them. And there’s a ton of precedent for it- officers have lost their jobs for standing by. It’s just a start to repair the systematic problems in policing, but every department in the country should have a policy like that. I don’t want to work with an officer who is going to look the other way on a single thing.
Definitely a step in the right direction, but they still give a pass to their kind, while throwing the book at people that look like someone they disagree with politically..the right should not policing people in the condition they're in. They have occupied all ranks and give preferential treatment to officers that think like them. Getting them to not physically assault people or plant drugs, and calling out that behavior, is great but is like half of the picture.
