Hacker Group Names Family of Coward Cop That Pepper-sprayed Crowd

Police officers should be called out for misconduct, but their families should hold no blame for the officers conduct.

Rotflmao.....

If anyone is interested there are approximatly over 800,000 Police Officers employed in the United States at this time. So 4,861 reports of Police Misconduct is less than 0.01% across the nation.

Yes it would be nice to see a zero in that place and in a perfect world there would be.

This stats include over 9,082,77 violent crimes, 778,901 aggravated assaults, and 84,767 forcible rape cases (that are reported, and that number can be tripiled by those that don't report a rape for various reasons) and 737,142 vehicle thefts reported just in 2010.

The crimes being commited far outway the number of Officers on the street.

In California alone there are currently 118,884 Officers employed, barely 10,000 of them female. In 2010 there were 21,815 violent crimes, 116,154 property crimes, I could go on and on, but you get the idea, there are vastly more crimes being comitted than we even have Officers on the streets, and with budget cutbacks we are loosing more and more Officers each year.

The department that I previously worked for, initially had 82 street Officers and 21 support staff, such as Lieutenants, the Chief, Deputy Chief, all of whom worked behind deskes. That city has since, nearly, tripled in size, but now has only 75 street Officers.

I have always said that we need better, more well trained Officers on the street, but until we can get Chiefs, city managers etc. to keep their Officers in line and punished for use of force issues etc. Crime is going to keep growing and we will continue to have a reluctancy of people wanting to be Police Officers, because of those handful of ones that do things they are not supposed to and have a command staff letting them get away with it, we will fail to bring in people who want to do a good job in their communitites.

I, for one, would love to see, some kind of oversight committee, that could plant Officers inside departments with a reputation of bad behavior and start weeding out the "crabgrass", and start letting the Officers who want to be there and do a good job for their community be the majority not the minority.
