Maybe it would make officers turn in the bad apples, since they insist "one bad apple" each time these issues arise.
Do they still insist that? My unstudied feeling is that the current go to is "The officer acted in line with established department guidelines. We commit to reviewing the guidelines in light of this situation" with no accountability on any side to actually do anything.
How do you "turn in" a sheriff? It's an elected position
You take it to the public, and the public recalls the sheriff.
The indictment was already public, it's national news. That's why we're talking about it. I don't see any recall election planned.
Recall or arrest them. Once workers realize how poor leaders effect their livelihood explicitly, the problem tends to solve itself. Doubly so when we're talking about police unions here.
You report them to state police or the FBI?
Report that he arrested someone? That's already public information.
Report that he committed misconduct - in this case, a clear civil rights violation. Are we playing dumb?
Report it to who? The Trump Administration? The arrest is public information already.
You are now repeating yourself. Scroll up.
Well many government pension funds are horribly underfunded, so likely it would just add to the underfunding till eventually the government would bail it out.
It is an expensive, inefficient way to try and solve the issue - when they screw up this bad, you fire them - this is how every other organization works.
