I'd have to find the figures again, but cops commit murder/assaults/etc at about the same rate that the general population does, proving they are just people.

On the other hand, they tend to get much more lenient punishments for most offenses. Sometimes only losing their jobs/pensions for what should be an offense that gets them years.



The one thing that should change: There should be an independent organization whose sole job and responsibility is investigating police. Police should never be allowed to handle it internally and declare we found nothing wrong with our employees conduct. Any criminal charges should be handled by a non local prosecutor as well and judge as well.
