So why not tell the truth then and say that Upper Management is where the source of the real Graft is because every single Upper Manager knows who is naughty and who is nice
Without data to support it I would argue most cops pretty openly admit that issues start with senior administration and flow downhill from there.
How many MILLIONS of complaints are buried long before they are recognised.
No idea. Probably not as many as the complaints that are filed because Susie got pissed that we arrested her husband Jimbob for whaling on her for the fourth time in a month so she decides to file a complaint about how mean we are. I don’t have any data for that, either.
you cannot be a Good Cop if you even once allow a Bad Cop to walk
We all have our own case load. We can’t really walk around arresting cops subject to investigations that we have nothing to do with.
there needs to be an available Hotline to the Military
No thanks, I don’t want the military involved in civilian law enforcement. Y’know, like the Posse Comitatus Act says.
if your Boss or Supervisor is corrupt and you believe it is in any way organised you are obligated to as a Civil Servant report that directly to the Military.
Can you point me to where that’s established?
and get to work cleaning up the workplaces you value.
I have one workplace. I can’t really fly around the country “cleaning up” other agencies.

There are always "bad ones" everywhere there is human involved, does not matter what line of work.

but the Space Force won't.
Ah shucks!!! Doesn't the Space Force have pew pew weapons, light-sabres and Mechs'!!
Within the first 30 days of their job they witness another much more embedded experienced Cop strike a suspect illegally...at that exact moment if the new Officer fails to step in they become complciti and guilty of collusion...its a process...of getting them dirty immediately...like a Pimp destroying a womans self-image and moral compass before he farms her out to work for him...if he doesn't brainwash he she wont be working for him....she will be working with him and he doesn't want that.
You disenfranchise the entire process by adding a Hotline to the Military NO DIRTY COPS CAN BREACH....you TEACH YOUR CADETS about this line...you teach them how important it is....and good will triumph over evil.
We know almost every Cop who is rotten has been "corrupted" in an organized manner using blackmail just like Actors in Hollywood and just like Politicians and anyone who has access to power.
This is action is designed to SAVE AND HELP the good men and women who are trying to make their Country a better place to live in....this is to HELP THE LEOS WHO ARE ALREADY TRYING TO DO GOOD BUT ARE BEING STONEWALLED BY ARCHAIC CORRUPTION SO EMBEDED THEY CANNOT DIG OUT ON THEIR OWN.

Okay? That’s a neat story. I’m sure something along those lines has happened but it’s not some ironclad rule that we’ll go through and do to others.

No. The military can do the militarying. Repeating yourself and caps locking at me isn’t going to do much to change my mind about how idiotic it is to invite the military to enforce domestic law at all times.

Speaking of things we know, were you gonna answer my previous question?

Again with the caps lock? Really? Anyway, I’ve already given my position on the notion you have that the military is somehow equipped to do whatever you think it is they’ll do while somehow remaining entirely above reproach themselves.
Maybe the same thing that makes you comment about the Caps is what makes you unable to understand that the chance for self-policing is over for Leo Forces
they have as a MAJORITY proven that it has been made impossible for them to be "good cops"
they need help...from the Military.
why on Gods green Earth would any Cop in any State NOT WANT HELP to stop inhouse corruption?
corruption is corruption you cannot be a "little bit" pregnant or a "little bit" corrupt....you are or you are not

People don't stand a chance against the government...If there was an actual civil war and civilians were armed and having standoffs everywhere, they would get annihilated. The government would grossly out number them and have more advanced technology and weaponry. Drones would rip everyone to shreds. Only if a percentage of the military and national guard joined with the rioters would there be a chance.

when rioters start taking over police stations there's no longer any excuses for their actions, regardless if someone was killed or not, once things progress this far its an act of terrorism and is unacceptable.

You haven't thought this through, that is patently untrue. We have around two million active and reserve soldiers that are located all over the world. We have roughly 50 million plus gun owners located all over the country. There is no possible way to get all of the soldiers back to the US in a short amount of time and weapons are useless without anyone to use them. There are other factors too but I'll let you chew on just that info for a while.

I don't support mindless rioting, but a leader who'd send soldiers in against civilians is not somebody that I'd be prepared to vote for come the next election.
I'd take an incompetent leader with busy fingers and a head stuck up their own backside over one who'd send in soldiers. That's what they do in banana republics.
Time Square isn't Tienanmen Square.

You keep thinking we have the tech and drones but we don't. I'm all for taking back our country but we will get destroyed. I'm curious how you think it will work out.

Easy there tiger. Just because I think your idea is idiotic doesn’t mean I’m “unable to understand” the idea behind it. Your statement of the problem isn’t without merit, it’s your solution to it that’s stupid. Don’t confuse the two.
they have as a MAJORITY proven that it has been made impossible for them to be "good cops"
It’s really not. I’m not going to give specific data because I’m not going to identify my agency, but what I will say is that every year for the last several years, our IA office has received nearly four times as many internally generated complaints about officers as they’ve received externally generated complaints about officers. In each of those years, officers filed more complaints than civilians about other officers in every single category of complaint except one, and in that category officers filed complaints anywhere from half to two-thirds as often as civilians did.
they need help...from the Military.
No we don’t.
why on Gods green Earth would any Cop in any State NOT WANT HELP to stop inhouse corruption?
Don’t confuse thinking your idea of asking the military to enforce domestic law is borderline retarded with not wanting to end corruption. They are two separate things.
corruption is corruption you cannot be a "little bit" pregnant or a "little bit" corrupt....you are or you are not
Sure you can, because you can define corruption however it suits you. What’s corrupt? Ignoring bad UoF? Taking money? Stealing from detainees? Sure, that’s corrupt. Is it also corrupt when an officer speeds a little? Is it corrupt when an officer takes a discounted cup of coffee from a gas station that’s been robbed six times in two months, and then hangs out in the parking lot doing paperwork so there’s a visible presence to deter another robbery? Is it corrupt when an agency accepts a donation of new body armor because all their vests are old and the agency is underfunded? There are people who would answer yes to all of those. There are people who would answer no to all of those. There are people who’d say yes to some but not others. So it’s entirely possible to be “a little corrupt” depending on who’s looking at the question.
But the bottom line is that you shouldn’t confuse my thinking your “solution” is patently stupid on every level for some sort of perceived inability to understand that corruption is bad and should be dealt with.
