Well, I decided to go and read up on this. Scientific American did a pretty interesting article about this phenomena:

The Color of Sin

Yeah, it more than likely has zero to do with skin color.

Because lighter skin has been an easy way to identify someone who doesn't do manual labour for a living in like, most countries?

Dunno if I missed this when reading the thread, but the rear end in a top hat cop who arrested a nurse for doing her job has been fired. His watch commander has been demoted from lieutenant to officer.

It would be, except that most prosecutors are cowards who don't charge cops because they don't want to jeopardize the working relationship they have with the local cops they need to work with in order to obtain convictions. Because, see, even though 99% of cops are good upstanding officers and it's only the extremely tiny minority that gives them a bad name, apparently if prosecutors actually enforced the law against the bad ones all the good ones would suddenly take umbrage at that and stop doing their jobs properly.

So yes, in a just world, this isn't just kidnapping, it's also deprivation of civil rights under the color of law, with conspiracy charges on top of that, *and* with a firearm present in the commission of the crime, which means sentencing enhancements, which all probably leads to a 10+ year Federal sentence.

Also, the two cops in question are appealing their punishments, which means it will probably go to a union-supported arbitrator who will overturn it and force the chief to rehire the guy he fired.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/investigations/police-fired-rehired/

quote:

Since 2006, the nation’s largest police departments have fired at least 1,881 officers for misconduct that betrayed the public’s trust, from cheating on overtime to unjustified shootings. But The Washington Post has found that departments have been forced to reinstate more than 450 officers after appeals required by union contracts.

Most of the officers regained their jobs when police chiefs were overruled by arbitrators, typically lawyers hired to review the process. In many cases, the underlying misconduct was undisputed, but arbitrators often concluded that the firings were unjustified because departments had been too harsh, missed deadlines, lacked sufficient evidence or failed to interview witnesses.

A San Antonio police officer caught on a dash cam challenging a handcuffed man to fight him for the chance to be released was reinstated in February. In the District, an officer convicted of sexually abusing a young woman in his patrol car was ordered returned to the force in 2015. And in Boston, an officer was returned to work in 2012 despite being accused of lying, drunkenness and driving a suspected gunman from the scene of a nightclub killing.

For some reason you are assuming prosecutors actually want to charge the cops, but can't. It seems at least as likely that they are willingly & happily a part of the same corrupt culture.

It is a shame that police departments must abide by the collective agreements they sign. They should be above the law in all respects.

ITYM "It's a shame that members of a police union have no incentive not to make demands that are harmful to society as a whole when they are met, and that police departments have no incentive not to accede to those demands of the union." Of course police departments must abide by the contracts they enter into, but the contracts they enter into are Dumb and contribute to awful police abuses because they make it very difficult to remove bad actors from the ranks of the police. If the majority of cops were good then that wouldn't matter because they'd police themselves and bad actors wouldn't last long, but the majority of cops aren't good so we need to make it a lot easier to fire the bad ones.

In other words ban police unions.

doverhog posted:

Of course they're part of the same corrupt system. Their interests aren't perfectly aligned, though, and the prosecutor needs the cooperation of the cops to make himself appear to be doing his job well. He needs the help of the cops more than the cops need the help of the prosecutor. So the prosecutor *doesn't* want to charge the cops, is my point. If a prosecutor wants to charge you, you'll get charged, especially at the Federal level.
