So the US doesn't only have bad cops, it has bad police departments. The rot starts from the top, then?

- midoridensha 4y agoWhile there's definitely cultural problems in the US that could lead to more bad departments, the US is a highly decentralized country with a lot of control at the local levels. I think this tends to lead to a lot more corruption at local levels (in some places much more than others), and accordingly more bad departments.
- pjc50 4y agoThe US lacks a national police inspectorate, or similar body that could reliably investigate crimes committed by police from the outside. Police are left to police themselves.
