Police Unions. I strongly support organized labor however I do not support what Police Unions commonly do. For example a month or two ago, some New York City cop shot and killed a man for no apparent reason. Concerned that he might lose his job, he rang up his Union Steward on his phone. It was four solid minutes before he looked into whether he might render first aid for the guy he had just shot. It is very commonly the case that when a law enforcement officer commits a really odious crime, his union will come to his aid. You'd think that wouldn't happen but it does. So yes I expect that were internal affairs investigations handled as you suggest, it would have a profoundly positive effect. But it would be hard to implement it, as the unions for the bad cops would not agree to it. Perhaps a way to handle it would be a state ballot proposition. It might be more appealing to the unions were "police force B" chosen totally at random whenever such an investigation was called for.
