Every year, tens of thousands of police officers are investigated for serious misconduct — assaulting citizens, driving drunk, planting evidence and lying among other misdeeds.
The vast majority get little notice. And there is no public database of disciplined police officers.
To create the first, journalists at USA TODAY and its affiliated newspapers across the country – and media partners including the Invisible Institute in Chicago – gathered records from thousands of state agencies, prosecutors and local police departments.
Starting with lists of officers who lost their law enforcement certification in 44 states, we are making those records available here.

This is where you begin.Things will take everyone right to the Union sooner than later.
Then to the People who were in Command positions of internal Investigations who kept the fraud and deceit running for decades...Prosecutors who refused to prosecute and Judges who made decisions that encouraged this abrogation of duty...the fun is just beginning

They aren't held accountable.....
Killing people without justification, violating constitutional rights, assaulting citizens, shooting pets, throwing flashbang grenades in cribs, destroying businesses after destroying their surveillance cameras, driving drunk, shooting people in their own homes, raping people in their custody,*** just to name a few of the regular occurrences of police ignorance and brutality***, and getting a suspension 90% of the time......
..... is being held accountable? I'm sure there are a few million people that would disagree with you, even on a good day.
