My personal favorite is the somewhat recent Mollen commission findings about corruption of NYPD officers.wikipedia posted:Today's corruption is not the corruption of Knapp Commission days. Corruption then was largely a corruption of accommodation, of criminals and police officers giving and taking bribes, buying and selling protection. Corruption was, in its essence, consensual. Today's corruption is characterized by brutality, theft, abuse of authority and active police criminality. That was 20 years ago, and unlike the Knapp commission nothing was ever done about it.

JeffersonClay posted:Public employees work with the benevolent hand of the government, how could their interests ever be disregarded? The only type of monopsonist that puts his employees first is a government bureaucrat, of course. With police unions, I think limiting their power to defending an officer against administration action only instead of administration AND criminal/civil action would be a huge start, the other being that police union leadership should be comprised of only public defenders since something tells me they more than any other group know who the crooked cops are. Two other things would be that officers should be black listed from being hired again if they have a history of being violent / crooked, and that any shooting's that occurs is reviewed by civilians, not things like internal affairs, not by the district attorney's office, and that if you've been a cop, DA, or judge you are immediately disqualified from serving on that.
