Probably what all "good cops" think, "I can change the system from within" or "It's just a couple outlier bad cases, but I'll make sure to only prosecute actual bad people"
Which isn't a bad idea really. It's an admirable goal.
And then promptly get beaten: https://sh.itjust.works/post/41445902
Dude is now a Police Comissioner, but idk how much reform he can actually do, its not like he can fire 50% of the department
I mean the way I see it, you have to disband the entire thing then form something new with more requirements.
Perhaps just abolish the police and let the people police themselves with a militia, seems better that way.
Doesn't work, but it's an admirable thought.
If enough good cops rebel then they can drive the bad cops out. Dream scenario
The issues are systemic and won't be solved by replacing people.
As one example, it would be 100% legal in many states for a bad cop to rape a prisoner. No matter how many good cops testify against them, there would be no legal basis for prosecuting them. At best, department policy would give cause to fire them. Then they'll get a job in some county with an elected sheriff who ran on being Tough On Crime (tm).
