Question

A relatively small number of police officers engage in questionable police practices, such as corruption, racial profiling, and excessive force. However, the small number deeply impact community-police relations. What impact do you think inappropriate police behavior has on the community? How can the police as an agency better monitor behavior to keep the few from spoiling the reputation of all? Do you think civil litigation is a useful tool in keeping officers in check? Why or why not? What do you think can be done to help a community overcome large scandals, such as the L.A. Rampart scandal?

Answer 5

Has civility gone downhill in this modern world? I make a conscious effort to be polite on a daily basis, even though I know that I can not make an overall change in the planet as a whole. Rudeness is by definition unjustifiable and unnecessary, but dis courtesy still runs rampant. Is chivalry dead to everyone else except me?!

Answer 6

Sorry about that little rant about life on Earth.

Answer 7

well, i think the police have an image problem. When police do something bad, like beat people up, drink on the job, nothing is done. The media reported on a female officer up here. She got drunk at work with the other staff. Rammed her car into another. An investigation was done. She got nothing. Then, 2 months later got a promotion.-- i got a criminal record for smoking pot in public.--

So they got to do a better job at enforcing the rules

civil litigation wont help. Who do u think will come forth and sue them.
