No.
I suggest to read Franklin Zimring's 2017 book, When Police Kill.
We are focused on problem cops but not problem departments.
Not 1 person mentions the failure of local chain of command for setting bad/no policy to deal with police encounters.
Immunity should be removed also from chain of command AND deparments for not producing directives that troops can follow.
Why is it not codified to not shoot when a suspect is running? The ruelbook on proper rules of engagement is surprisingly weak at precinct level and above. Then we go about blaming cops for not having clear limitations on what they can or cannot do.
Leadership loves the lack of accountability. They prefer to sacrificial troop lambs rather than themselves to roast.
And we are happy to oblige them
