This lends to a trend that's way to prevalent as of late: There are no checks and/or balances on the Police; the only discipline comes internally, often as a result of public outcry. Perhaps it's the bias of what you actually hear about, but it seems like the worst that can happen to a Police officer is paid leave.
- ryanac 14y ago"as of late"? Feels like the lack of checks and balances on the police has been going on for a while. It's only when something major happens that people take notice, like someone putting together this report, now all of a sudden it's a new trend that's way to prevalent as of late. :P
- austenallred 14y agoOK, I guess "as of late" means "since the Internet."
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoIf anything, I bet it has gotten better since the Internet. Pre-Internet, it would take a local news agency to ferret out problems. Now, problems can be reported by anyone and viewed by many.

- danielharan 14y agoIt's even worse for national security agencies. Questioning whether they are doing a good or necessary job means you're a threat to national security.
