Cops are just as bad as politicians and the wealthy powers that be, except they are able to affect people more directly on a day by day basis.

Granted I'm sure there is a small percent of decent police officers with common sence and a conscious but many are just crooked self-ritious extreem seeking bullies.

I wish there was a randomly selected board of citizens(almost like jury duty) that investigated and sentenced all the acts of police Corruption and brutality that happens everyday, but sadly when your police need policing then your doing it all wrong from the start.




Just like any Job you will have people that are bad at it. There are cops that love the thought of being a cop just for instances when they can whip-ass and get away with it. But knowing a few cops myself, and having a friend going through the ranks of the ATF ultimately wanting to go into the FBI. I can tell you there are more cops that only want to do their job without any bullshit to go along with it.

You already have a community picking the police officers for you. The Sheriff is the elected official, if he's not hiring in the type of police force the community wants, it's pretty simple just to vote them out. But the bad cop(s) already in place will have to do something pretty drastic in order to be fired, you can thank the unions for that.
