For all the bad you drum up, there are many more shining examples. It's all in what you look for.


I agree, and unfortunately those shining examples don't usually get the press that the bad apples do. 

 

You have to admit, though, it seems we are hearing many more examples of these issues now than we did even 5 years ago.  Is it facebook / the internet that is bringing them to light more often or is there really an increase?  Why is it that, when we hear of something off the wall (like many of these posts), there is usually one or two officers directly involved and then a handful that were nearby with knowledge of the situation that didnt raise a red flag? 

 

We see one example of what I am looking for in the video from TN - the officer that notices the camera mentions that it wasn't really a good hit just before he notices the camera.  How do police forces come up with a way to bring those issues to light without labeling the reporting officer a snitch?  Is there a way to report these things for 'training' purposes without disciplining the officer, assuming that something is learned from the incident?  IMO, the best way to prevent these things would be for LEO's to self report and retrain, Im sure for every incident we see there are many that are unseen.
