re: #106 William Lewis

I keep wishing…

Require a college degree.
Then law enforcement specific training, perhaps 2 years.
Then 2 years of OJT apprenticeship. No carrying a firearm until the apprenticeship is over unless authorized, in writing, by local chief in an emergency.
Can not, under any circumstance, hide identity or badge number.

This also goes with my belief that on shift, the body cam should not be able to be turned off. Allow editing of personal/hygiene moments but all cops on duty (including detectives, supervisors, etc) must have the camera on. Turning it off while on duty is automatic termination of employment.

Only a schoolteacher will work for that education/salary ratio. The problem isn’t that the killer cops lack the knowledge to do the job, but that they lack the moral compass.
